Begin your 9-hour tour with a drive from your hotel in Buenos Aires to the village of San Antonio de Areco. Enjoy views of the pampas en route and listen to commentary about the area from your guide.
Paradores Draghi is the ideal corner for those who enjoy the cultural attractions offered by a place. There you will access a tour through the sumptuous space where you can see a vast collection of pieces of rural goldsmithing of the nineteenth century, which reveals the mysteries of a period of national identity consecration of the figure of the Gaucho as a main character of that time.
In Paradores Draghi begin your journey through history not only as a spectator, but also as a participant in the process of making exclusive goldsmith pieces that take shape through the hands of artisans recreating the techniques of traditional goldsmithing as their founder, Juan José Draghi, did in the 60s.
Once you get to the town, you will enjoy a tour of the village including a walk around the historical downtown of the city.
Located on Segundo Sombra Street, between Alsina and Arrellano. Don José Ruiz de Arellano founded the first oratory in the center of his stay. The foundation of this oratory was very important for the creation of the town. In the years 1720 and 1728, the first chapel was built, it was located a little more to the right than the current one. The foundation stone of the present church was placed on February 7, 1869 and was buried under the central entrance door. Inside it was placed a lead box containing the original records written on parchment, newspapers of the day, medals and coins of the time.
In the grocery and drinks store, the peasants and country people who came to the town to provide themselves and do errands to the cereal house, the store, the doctor, the bank, used to meet. There "stopped" Don Segundo Ramírez, the gaucho who was later a character in the novel by Ricardo Güiraldes.
Make your way to the exclusive ‘El Ombu de Areco’ Estancia. At this place, you will have a chance to take rides on horses or go for a ride in a carriage while enjoying some traditional cold cuts, cheeses and beverages. Then, you will enjoy a typical Argentinian barbeque of the finest meats. While you have dessert, you will be able to see a folklore show followed by a demonstration of gaucho skills.

From the moment I stepped into my cozy accommodation, I felt the city’s pulse, setting the stage for an incredible three days. One of the most memorable moments was during the dinner show, where the tango dancers seemed to weave their emotions into every movement, leaving me in awe. While the gaucho experience was enjoyable, I wish it had offered more interaction with the skilled riders.

Our three-day adventure was a whirlwind of vibrant experiences that kept our group buzzing with excitement. The gaucho experience was a standout, with an authentic asado that left us all craving more, though the initial city tour felt a tad rushed for our tastes. As the night unfolded with an electrifying tango show, we couldn’t help but feel that the immersion into the local culture was exactly what we had hoped for; the food and performances were truly memorable.
