COASTAL REGION, ARGENTINA
Corrientes Rural Estate
Life at the estancia
With rivers and wetlands, the province of Corrientes offers an exuberant and subtropical home to hundreds of species of native flora and fauna … and a rich culture and history strongly influenced by the indigenous Guaraní culture, European immigrants, and Jesuits.
We offer horseback adventures that showcase the magic and spirit of the Corrientes gaucho from the past, present, and future. Stunning landscapes, carefully selected horses, century-old traditions, and high-quality meals, all organized with the experience and warmth of our people.
Discover the journey
Swamps, lagoons, pampas, forests, islands and jungles.
These rides will take you through unique and unforgettable places. We work in close collaboration with two very special estancias near Esquina, in the southwest of the province. There you will experience an intimate atmosphere, great comfort, high-quality rooms, and very friendly staff. We also have typical Corrientes outposts, offering a more authentic experience of how the local people live.
Corrientes is unique, and we can help you make the most of our estancias as a base for organizing excursions to local rodeos, trips with professional hunting and fishing guides.
We have our own criollo horse stable, where we breed, tame, and use the horses for our rides.
How to get there
When you come to experience our authentic Estancias, we’ll be personally waiting for you in the charming city of Esquina, in the province of Corrientes, northeast Argentina.
Surrounded by wild, untamed landscapes, blessed with incredibly warm and friendly locals, and filled with beautiful colonial architecture, Esquina is a hidden gem that continues to captivate travelers from around the world.
Getting here from Buenos Aires is surprisingly easy and part of the adventure:
• By car: Enjoy a scenic 6-hour drive through the beautiful countryside of Entre Ríos — the perfect way to ease into the gaucho spirit.
• By bus: Most of our guests love taking the comfortable Cama Bus (sleeper bus). It departs from Estación Terminal Retiro at 8:00 pm with spacious reclining seats, blankets, dinner service, and movies. You’ll arrive refreshed in Esquina before 5:00 am — and yes, we’ll be right there at the station waiting to welcome you with a big smile.
No matter how you arrive, your unforgettable gaucho adventure begins the moment you step into Esquina.
