Discover the pearl of the Buenos Aires hinternland

During the morning, we’ll do the walking tour of the town center. Visit the Basilica, a unique religious building in the heart of the province of Buenos Aires. Every week, the Basilica receives hundreds of believers that seek to worship the Virgencita de Lujan (Holy Virgin of Lujan), keeper and protector of the Argentinean nation. See the wonderful Cabildo (town hall) of Lujan, as a token of colonial architecture.

So much for the urban part of the tour: let’s get rural! We’ll be spending the rest of the day in the countryside. We'll be going to a small cattle ranch, just 25 km out of Lujan on Route 47, that has been in the family for four generations. I’m honored to receive visitors and introduce them to life in the Pampa in this establishment.

For lunch, we’ll enjoy (naturally) an ‘Asado’ grilled by local experts! The best meat in the world prepared with the most refined technique. Learn everything about the traditional grilling process: be an expert yourself upon your return. You’ll also be enjoying salads and regional products as side dishes.

We’ll also enjoy another traditional Argentinean meal: ‘Mate con facturas’! Mate is a traditional hot beverage, served in a very particular way. Once again, you’ll learn all about it. With the Mate, you’ll taste the local patisserie.

For: Specially recommended for those that want to experience Argentinean life, culture and cuisine away from the buildings and noises of the big city.

Cost Includes:

Transport from and back to Buenos Aires, the walking tour in Lujan, LUNCH (ASADO) + afternoon meal and visit to the ranch
