Highlights
  • Carlos Keen - We will leave from our selected hotels to head towards Carlos Keen, where our incredible day will begin.

The property is characterized by its simplicity, with a white gate that marks the entrance. In the place, you will find some horse boxes and a house inhabited by the landlady.

While the horses are already saddled and ready for the adventure, we will be given a brief explanation on how to handle them, especially for those who do not have previous experience.

There, the exciting horseback ride through the countryside begins. This walk will last 2 hours, which will allow us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the rural environment. We will arrive at the agricultural production field, where a delicious Creole lunch awaits us at a simple work station that includes roast meats, sausages, fresh salads, drinks and a dessert.

After lunch and a well-deserved rest, we ride the horse again, since we have about 15 more minutes of riding left.

Once the walk is over, we say goodbye to Carlos Keen and we will go to our selected hotels.

Not as advertised but very enjoyable for us - We wanted a horseback ride in the country and a sense of the gaucho experience. We spent the day with Marcelo, the operator, and Lorena, his assistant. They were very charming, spoke reasonably good English, and had lovely horses for us to ride. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with them and our lengthy ride. However we were in the town of Carlos Keen, not Villa Ruiz. It was not scenic. We did not have an “asado” lesson, nor did we return to an asado lunch. We did in fact eat at a tiny local cafe, where the proprietor served a delicious lunch of antipasto appetizer, homemade organic ravioli, and dessert. Marcelo provided wine. Viator/Trip Advisor needs to sync the description of this excursion with the actual experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the horseback ride, and that was what we came for. But many people would not be happy with what we got versus what was advertised - see next paragraph for the advertised excursion. “This is a typical itinerary for this product Arriving to Villa Ruiz, close to San Antonio de Areco, you will have a small introduction about how to do a typical argentinian barbecue called "asado" (learn how to cut the meat and to salt, learn about the fires's secrets...). Then you will go for a horseback ride of 2 hours around the province of Buenos Aires. When you come back, enjoy an amazing asado, drinks included.”
