Discover Estancia La Rosita, a family-owned working ranch located in Corrientes province. For over 20 years, international guests have experienced the authentic gaucho lifestyle that isn’t performed but lived. This genuine cattle and horse breeding estancia invites you to become a gaucho for days, weeks, or as long as your heart desires. Here, among sub-tropical pampas, marshlands, and eucalyptus forests, you’ll discover what it truly means to live on horseback.
Situated 600 kilometers north of Buenos Aires in the heart of traditional gaucho country, this intimate estancia is paradise for adventurers. You can ride as long as you wish, participate in real cattle work, or perfect your polo skills on the private field. Surrounded by wildlife-rich wetlands, it’s the perfect retreat for those seeking genuine Argentine ranch culture and equestrian adventure. With 7 guest rooms, over 130 horses, and endless pampas stretching to the horizon, this is amongst Argentina’s most authentic riding experiences, where capybaras roam free and gauchos still live the old ways.
Stay in one of 7 comfortable guest rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and traditional estancia-style furnishing. The ranch features a swimming pool, spacious verandas for afternoon siestas, and a thatched asado area for traditional barbecues.
Horse Riding Options: Choose from diverse riding experiences including Pampa & Afforestation Rides, combining vast pampas with canters through tree-lined forest avenues, Safari Rides through wetlands to spot capybaras and alligators, and Adventure Rides galloping along lagoon edges. For those seeking excitement, try Swimming on Horseback during summer or Full Moon Rides under starlit skies. Experience authentic Gaucho Rides, participating in cattle herding and medical treatments, or take the Pueblo Ride to nearby Esquina town for lunch by the river.
The signature 4 Estancias Trail offers a 5-day adventure riding 20-50km daily across four working ranches, with river crossings and wildlife spotting. Additional activities include fishing in lagoons, traditional gaucho skills like lassoing and sortijas racing, and cultural experiences with folk music and tango lessons.
All stays include full board with beverages, transfer from nearby Esquina town, and unlimited access to the estate’s horses – crossbred between Argentine Polo, Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Criollo & Percheron. Flexible duration from 3 nights to extended stays, suitable for all riding levels with expert bilingual guidance.
