Buenos Aires and the Pampas
Buenos Aires sits between two worlds: the Atlantic-facing port city where tango, literature, and café culture still shape the daily rhythm — and, just beyond it, the wide, wind-brushed plains of the Pampas, home to working estancias and a rural culture that still holds close to its gaucho roots.
In the city, neighbourhoods unfold like chapters: the faded grandeur of Recoleta, the quiet charm of Palermo’s tree-lined streets, the old-world pulse of San Telmo. There’s no single way to experience it — Buenos Aires invites slow exploration, late dinners, and long mornings spent watching the world pass by from a shaded terrace.
Beyond the city, the Pampas stretch outward — open skies, red soil, and the long traditions of cattle country. Life here moves to a different rhythm, shaped by horses, wood smoke, and the quiet work of the land. A stay on a traditional estancia offers a rare sense of continuity — a window into a side of Argentina that’s increasingly rare but still deeply rooted.
