Gaucho wannabes

Estancia Santa Rita. Beautiful. Just 1.5hrs from Buenos Aires and a great place to chill out and pretend you live on a farm.

The estancia is featured in a book called `Estancias in Argentina` and is really a beautiful place. I met the owner after dinner who is a retired doctor and now spends his time working on the estancia. It will be great to visit the estancia again in a couple of years time when he has finished renovating the former house. His 6 daughters take it in turn to help out on the weekends in between uni.

Big dave had his first encounter with a horse and is now very hooked and keen to do more riding. We also loved how everything was so chilled and how meals were such a long relaxed affair. All very cool and looking forward to spending time in plenty more estancias around Argentina.
