Corrientes
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.
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 visit our Ranches, I'll be waiting for you in the city of Esquina, Corrientes province, in the northeast of Argentina. The wild landscapes, warm people, and colonial-style architecture of this small and charming city attract visitors from around the world.
It is very easy to reach Esquina from Buenos Aires. By car, the journey takes approximately 6 hours through the province of Entre Ríos. By bus, our guests usually take the Bed bus, which departs from Buenos Aires and offers a comfortable sleeper bus with movies. Leaving from Terminal Retiro station at 8 pm, the bus arrives in Esquina before 5 am, where we will be waiting at the station.
