Estancia Ombu de Areco
Today’s adventure began with the familiar first period
class in Colegio del Salvador before boarding the bus for the two hour trip out
to Estancia el Ombú.
The Estancia was a beautiful building surrounded by
fields of cattle where visitors can ride horses, eat delicious meals, and spend
the night. Upon our arrival we were greeted with cold weather and warm
empanadas.
After the snack, the group saddled up and climbed onto
their horses. We rode through the fields of San Antonio de Areco, and although
some of us travelled a bit slower, the hour-long journey was a success.
After surviving the horseback riding, we were treated
with an outstanding meal from the Estancia. The food supply seemed infinite as
meat was piled on our plates!
Finally, the group attempted to dance once again with
help from the Estancia’s caretakers. The traditional folkloric music was
enjoyed, however our dancing skills have not improved.
After some more soccer and a fun day in the countryside, we were on our way back to Buenos Aires.
