Accommodations in Argentina



Accommodations at the estancias vary in scope and style from working ranches to castles, simple to palatial, most feel like an exhilarating cross between a European country-manor hotel and one of the best American dude ranches, providing travelers with a taste of some of the finest country living. In Argentina the extensive rural estates devoted largely to cattle ranhing and to growing grain, are called estancias.

The architectural development of the Argentine estancia evolved into the construction of grand European-style mansions, true rural palaces of European inspiration that even today preserve the beauty of their lines with out altering the old creole traditions.

Estancias are the land of the gaucho, loyal ranch-hand, servant and friend of the landowner, who worked tirelessly to build and develop the estates, some nomadic, who loved their freedom and wandered the pampas, always working on specialized tasks and scouting for travelers who ventured to cross the grasslands.
