Estancias, or ranches, play a huge part in Argentina’s culture, economy and history. In the early days, these properties were responsible for making Argentina one of the world’s biggest meat and grain producers. These enormous ranches dotted the entire countryside and are, to this day, where the best steaks come from. For Argentines, superlative beef is not just a pastime but a national obsession, with more than 50 different cuts of meat offered in many restaurants.
Many Estancias also give tourists a rare opportunity to stay as a guest at a working ranch and to experience the unique gaucho culture in a tranquil and beautiful setting of untamed countryside. Most estancias are over two hundred years old and still maintain a daily way of life firmly grounded in traditional practices and values. Many are restored colonial houses, and each is unique.
The typical Argentine estancia is a mansion in a combination of French, English, or colonial architectural styles, with the main residence usually having been converted to receive guests. These elegant and historic buildings overlook vast expanses of the countryside where cattle, sheep, goats, and horses graze.
Estancia Culture
Much like the American Cowboy, Gauchos have become a national icon, their lives retold in stories and legends. However, what passes for a myth in the United States is a reality in Argentina. Today they are still very much an integral part of the working estancia. Also, like the cowboys, gauchos are master horsemen. It is typical to see jaw-dropping horse shows arranged in many towns daily, as well as impromptu ones staged out in the fields during the cattle drives
