On Sunday, you will visit the San Telmo Fair.

Day 2: Free day

You will have a free day to visit the parts of the city you wish to visit.

*Optional: Gaucho festival

In this occasion, you will enjoy some time on a typical ranch in the Argentine prairie, just a few kilometers from the city of Buenos Aires and in the midst of an incredibly lovely natural setting and surrounding by the scent of the wilderness. Delicious food, like the customary barbecue (asado criollo) and turnovers, and excellent wines will complete this experience. There will be traditional folk songs and dances and spectacles of horsemanship, like the "carrera de sortijas" (ring race), horse races, and mixing and matching of herds. By the end of the day, you will understand a little more about the particular lifestyle on the Argentine ranches that embody the gaucho (cowboy), symbol of masculinity in these lands.
