For travelers yearning to escape the beaten path and experience the soul of Argentina on horseback, Estancia Los Potreros offers one of the most authentic and enriching equestrian experiences in South America.

Located in the heart of the Sierras Chicas, just one hour north of Córdoba city, this historic working cattle ranch has become a renowned destination for horseback riding enthusiasts from around the globe.

An Authentic Gaucho Experience

At Estancia Los Potreros, horseback riding is not just an activity — it is a way of life. The estancia is a functioning farm, steeped in history and tradition, where guests are welcomed into the daily rhythms of rural Argentine life. Riders have the rare opportunity to join gauchos in their everyday work: rounding up cattle, checking fence lines, or even learning the art of lassoing. These immersive experiences offer a profound connection to the cultural heritage of the Pampas and the resilient spirit of the Argentine countryside.

Unmatched Horse Variety and Terrain

The ranch is home to a well-trained herd of over 80 horses, including the renowned Peruvian Pasos and the sturdy native Criollos. The Peruvian Pasos are celebrated for their incredibly smooth four-beat gait, offering a comfortable and effortless ride over long distances, while the Criollos are prized for their strength, agility, and loyalty — the perfect companions for navigating the estancia’s diverse and often rugged landscape.

The trails across the ranch lead through gently rolling hills, open grasslands, rocky outcrops, and hidden forest paths, all offering panoramic views of the Sierra mountain range. Whether you are a novice rider or an experienced equestrian, the team at Los Potreros ensures personalized guidance and trail options to match your skill level.

Award-Winning Hospitality

Beyond its equestrian excellence, Estancia Los Potreros is equally renowned for its hospitality. Family-run and deeply rooted in tradition, the ranch welcomes guests with warm, personalized service. Accommodations are charming and rustic, offering comfort without sacrificing authenticity. Meals are a highlight of the stay — lovingly prepared home-cooked dishes featuring regional ingredients and paired with locally produced Argentine wines.

The ranch's all-inclusive philosophy means guests can relax and enjoy every moment, with riding, meals, and excursions included. Evenings are often spent around the fireplace, sharing stories with fellow travelers, or stargazing under the expansive Southern Hemisphere sky.
