Country Living in Argentina's Pampas

Welcome to Estancia 3 de Febrero, a family-run ranch, located 6 hours south of Buenos Aires, in the vast Pampas of Argentina near a small colonial town called Coronel Dorrego. The massive farm and estate was once owned by one of the founding fathers of the Republic of Argentina: Presidente Urquiza.
Today, the descendants of Presidente Urquiza are a traditional Argentine family living in complete harmony with their tranquil surroundings and continuing the original owner's legacy. Naya Traveler has exclusive access to this property, where travelers can experience a family stay.
Share their simple yet charming lifestyle, one that is in complete contrast with the fast-paced city life of Buenos Aires. The estate is off the grid in every sense of the term, and allows one to truly disconnect. Rise early to feed the deer, explore the grounds by 4x4 accompanied by the land owner. Indulge in a traditional Argentine asado (BBQ) followed by a well-deserved siesta. Share mate (Argentine hot beverage*) with the family and go horseback riding at sunset.
With over 5000 acres of rolling hills and open fields, the ranch has a wide variety of birds, cattle and horses, and well over 2000 deer of different species from around the world.
