Argentina, with an agricultural surface of 160 million hectares (compared to 18 for Great Britain and 370 for United States) and varied climatic conditions throughout its territory, is one of the main agricultural powers in the world.

Agrotourism in San Antonio de Areco, in the Heart of the Pampas

In addition to being the cradle of culture and tradition of the Argentinian gauchos, our town lies in the middle of the humid Pampas and is the main agricultural region of Argentina (wheat, maize, sunflower, soy, meat, leather and wool).

If you work in the agriculture or agribusiness sector, and you want to uncover the secrets of Argentinian agriculture and breeding, we are at your disposal to organize your visit and guide you.

We’ll also ensure you will fall in love with our beautiful colonial town, San Antonio de Areco, and invite you to spend a night in an authentic Estancia!

Our Tailor-Made offerings

In the space of a few years, we have developed a network of contacts that allow us to help you discover the most influential farms in the region, with experts from the local agricultural sector.

From the typical Estancia of extensive Angus beef production to the polycultures of soy, corn, wheat, sorghum or sunflower production, our teams are at your disposal to organize tailor-made programs, guiding you.

If you have a specific interest, such as breeding and bovine genetics, organic and non-GMO cultivation (yes, this does exist in Argentina!) or Polo horse breeding, get in touch! We would be more than happy to organize and coordinate a tailor-made visit for you.
