If you're looking for a place to really unwind and "get away from it all", the Guest Ranch at Estancia El Venado is the place for you.
At The Guest Ranch at El Venado, guests can opt for traditional rural activities like horseback rides around the farm and can enjoy soothing activities like bird watching in the park or relaxing by the pool. Here, guests set their own schedule away from alarm clocks and deadlines.
Located 170 km from Buenos Aires, Estancia El Venado comprises 2500 acres on prime grassland in the fertile Argentine Pampas. Rich in history and tradition, the Estancia was established in the mid-1800's. For four generations, it has been and continues to be a family-owned and operated ranch. Currently El Venado is a working ranch home to cattle, polo horses, crops, and an accomplished polo school.
Estancia El Venado was founded in the mid-1800's, and it has been in the family for over four generations. The history of this Estancia is evident everywhere one looks. The Cendoya family still lives in the original, updated Hacienda and uses the original outbuildings and barns, which were built from adobe bricks taken from the earth here over 150 years ago.
The trees in the Garden were planted when the Estancia was founded, and they are striking in their maturity and beauty. There are Avenues of majestic Asaurinas, Platanos, and Eucalyptus throughout the Estancia; and beautiful Magnolias, Ombus, and many others living in the Garden. They provide a home for the hundreds of birds here that sing like a chorus all day long, but are especially musical in the early morning.
Estancia El Venado is still a working cattle and horse breeding ranch. Guests can ride out across the fields on Argentine "Criollo" ranch horses using traditional tack and see vistas that are little changed since the area was frontier land.
After a day of exploring the Estancia or relaxing in a hammock, we serve our guests traditional, homemade cooking. We are very proud of our beef here on our Estancias in Argentina, and it shows in our cooking. Guests typically dine on delicious, local beef and made from scratch pastas and desserts. And don't forget the wine! Argentina produces some fantastic red wines, and we enjoy serving them! (We also accommodate special requests)
At the Guest Ranch at Estancia El Venado we gladly welcome our guests into our family. We love to re-experience the magnificence of our home with each new visitor.
