Located in the pampas of the Buenos Aires province, on the outskirts of the capital, the ranch tour in the Pampas from Buenos Aires is one of the most popular destinations in the region to experience a taste of traditional gaucho culture.

Ranch tour in the Pampas from Buenos Aires
Visitors to Estancia Santa Susana Ranch are greeted with two Argentine specialties, hot empanadas and wine. After a tour of the grounds by carriage or horseback, including a stop at the Spanish colonial house that now contains a museum, guests enjoy a parrillada, an Argentine-style barbecue that remains a popular weekend tradition even among modern porteños. Tango dancers and folk singers entertain during the meat-focused lunch.
In the afternoon, visitors to the ranch sit and watch as a group of gauchos display their impressive skills on horseback.
History
The homage to his wife, Susana Caffrey, was paid by Francisco Kelly, descendant of Irish, by giving the name Santa Susana to these lands at the end of the last century.
The ranch is located in the Campana district, near the town of Los Cardales, in the province of Buenos Aires
Estancia Santa Susana Ranch
For about three decades we have received visitors from all over the world and we use our 1,200 hectares of land mainly for agricultural purposes.
The tourist, both of national and foreign origin, will be able to enjoy within our borders any day of the week except Mondays.
Welcome
At Estancia Santa Susana Ranch, there is a certain way of welcoming visitors: with hot empanadas and wine, both Argentine staples. Once you’ve had the opportunity to tour the area in a horse-drawn carriage or on horseback, you are invited to enjoy a typically Argentine lunch: a barbecue, where meat is the main attraction and the tradition of the weekend is still in effect.
Estancia Santa Susana Ranch
In fact, it’s so beloved that it’s also popular with some of the more contemporary porteños. While guests enjoy their food, they will also be able to enjoy some performances, with tango dancers and folk singers providing entertainment. The property’s old colonial house also houses a museum, and is definitely worth a visit as well.

History of tango
Tango is a dance full of sensuality that was born in the 1800s in the most marginal areas of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. These communities were populated by a great diversity of people, among these were Argentines of African, indigenous and Caribbean origin. On the other hand there were many European immigrants who began to arrive in great waves towards the end of the century.
The graceful and passionate tango movements reveal the diverse cultural backgrounds of these early tango dancers. The solemn melodies of this music open a window to the listener into the life of the first immigrants from Argentina. Eventually the tango spread to the wealthier parts of Buenos Aires.
In the early 20th century, this style of dance gained popularity in Europe and the US as it continued to develop. The popularity of Argentine tango skyrocketed during the country’s prosperous “golden age” (1930-1955), which also saw the rise of new styles of tango.
The cultural movement, stage, and collective of musicians, poets, and dancers who invented tango are collectively known as the Old Guard. Although the origins of tango predate the Old Guard, it is there that this movement adopts the name that identifies it and acquires its own musical originality and choreography.
During this period the bandoneon was adopted as a typical tango instrument, with the first outstanding instrumentalists such as Juan Maglio (Pancho) and Eduardo Arolas.

A bit of history about the city of tango
Born in the Río de la Plata in the 19th century, tango is a musical style that results from the fusion between African culture and the local cultures of the gauchos and native peoples, as well as the contribution of mainly European immigrants, Spaniards and Italian and Middle Eastern.
The elegant and passionate movements of tango show the blend of exotic cultures of these early tango dancers. The majestic melody of the music offers listeners a glimpse into the life of early Argentine immigrants. The tango then spread to the wealthier neighborhoods of Buenos Aires.
This type of dance continued to grow and develop, causing a sensation throughout Europe and America in the early 20th century. Argentina’s Golden Age (1930-1950) was a time of prosperity for the country and saw an explosion in popularity and new styles of Argentine tango.
In the 1980s, tango became popular thanks to the international recognition of several Hollywood movies. Today tango schools have been opened all over the world, and in 2009 UNESCO inscribed it on the List of Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

Gourmet Tasting Tour in Buenos Aires. Because of the massive immigration, there is the debate if there really is a traditional cuisine in Argentina. It is said that “traditional food is eaten in the streets and consumed frequently by the poor.” The traditional or typical food of a country is the one that is eaten regularly, no matter if it is at home or in expensive restaurants. It is also the one sold in street stalls, bought by the working class at midday for being cheap and accessible. During this tasting tour in Buenos Aires, we will try the traditional dishes of the Argentinean cuisine.
The Argentinean cuisine is made up of a combination of European, Hispanic American (criollo) and native flavours. The Argentinian gastronomy in general is strongly carnivorous thanks to its famous meats of excellent quality. The typical dishes differ from north to south. In Buenos Aires, for example, the Spanish and Italian influence in their kitchen is deeply rooted thanks to the great immigrations. But there are some that are popular throughout the country.
In this tasting we will have a lunch consisting of a starter and a main course, a dessert and later a snack.

Yerba Mate (its scientific name is Ilex Paraguariensis) is a tree native to the Paranaense jungle. In the wild, it reaches a height of between 12 and 16 meters and there are mate herb plantations of up to 100 years in some Jesuit missions. To facilitate harvesting, plants are pruned up to 2 times a year at a height of 2 meters on average. The origin of the mate herb goes back to the Guarani natives, they used their leaves as a drink, cult object and currency exchange with other peoples.
Native drinking maté herb. Gourmet Tasting Tour in Buenos Aires
During the long voyages through the jungle, the conquistadors noticed that the Guaranis had more resistance after taking this sacred drink. The conquistadors learned from the Guarani the use and virtues of maté herb, and made their consumption spread, from their area of origin to the entire Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.
Jesuit drinking maté herb. Gourmet Tasting Tour in Buenos Aires
Later the Jesuits introduced the crop in the missions. They were the great ones responsible for the maté herb to be known in the civilized world.
The maté in Argentina, is drunk in different types of containers. The most used is the “Porongo” or pumpkin maté, fruit of a plant (Lagenaria vulgaris). The word “maté” derives from the Quechua”Mati”, which means pumpkin.
The Lagenaria vulgaris is the family of Pumpkins native to the maté herb production area, besides drinking maté, the Guarani used them to transport water during their long walks through the jungle and also to store grains.
With the large European, German, Polish, Ukrainian and Scandinavian immigrations, these people engaged in the production of maté herb. These companies currently bill millions of dollars.
Christian Syrian and Lebanese immigrants in Argentina extended the habit of taking maté to their countries of origin.
Alfajor

Most of the alfajor varieties in Latin America come from Spain, where there are antecedents from at least the eighteenth century.
