For
a truly unique experience and a different view of Argentina,
visit an estancia, an Argentine ranch. While many continue
to operate as cattle and sheep ranches, others raise thoroughbred
horses, and some combine those activities with entertaining
a small number of guests. Since virtually none has more than
18 rooms and some as few as three, service is always personal
and extremely friendly. Accommodations range from super-luxurious
to simple and rustic.
Visiting
Buenos Aires team, can suggest you where to go, depending
on your special interests.
San Juan Poriahú
This
is probably the most remarkable ranch in the northeastern
area of the country, on 40.000 acres of land near
Esteros del Iberá.
The
owner is Ana María Meabe, who belongs to a traditional
family of Corrientes Province.
Her sons, Marcos and Fernando García Rams serve and
administer the ranch.
Since long ago, they live there; they used to spend vacation
in this estancia when they where kids, but now they are captivated
by the place, and they can’t think of any other place
in the world to live in.

San
Juan Poriahú history starts with the Jesuits, on the
seventieth century, related to Loreto, a small neighbor
town where some old Christian treasures are guarded.
The adobe ranch, dating from three centuries ago, is an evident
demonstration of the Jesuit inheritance. The estancia includes
houses and other constructions, and it is as wide as the shadows
that surround it.
A
journey through the esteros, with their islands, vegetation
carpets and all their fauna will be a wonderful experience
for you.
Marcos is an enthusiastic and curious observer of Nature,
so he will call your attention on every animal appearance,
telling you the precise name of the animal and giving you
details of their behavior.
Lobitos
de agua (water wolves, an aquatic mammal), lizards, parrots,
armadillos, herons, carpinchos, storks, birds of prey, yacarés
(South American crocodiles), aguaraguzú (a strange
mix of fox and wolf) are just some of the animals you’ll
find there.
Photo
hunting will combine relaxation and fun and will show your
education and respect for that incredible environment. As
San Juan Poriahú is rich with fauna this is an excellent
opportunity for that kind of activity. The enthusiastic photographers
would not miss the chance for a good catch.
 |
Some
estancias are close enough to Buenos Aires so they can
be visited on a daytrip. You can watch the gauchos in
action, tour the colonial-style mansions and lunch at
a typical asado (Argentine barbecue). You can also arrange
for an overnight stay. |
