“We had a great time on this outing and learned a lot about polo! Neither my friend nor I had ever played before and had fun during the lesson. Recommend!”
Polo lesson and pro match just outside Buenos Aires, with empanadas, asado, wine, and hands-on horse time. Small-group day trip.
“Fantastic day! The whole experience was extremely well organized; the polo campo is beautiful - manicured and clean. Exhilarating watching the processional polo players play. If you have never seen a polo match, that alone is worth the trip. Lunch was beautifully presented and plentiful. Lots of time riding the well trained and gentle horses, no previous riding experience necessary. Seriously! We were not at all rushed at any point in the day and could enjoy riding until we were all tired out. Relaxed with wine after the riding and shared some good laughs. It is a full day, best not to make any other plans for the same day.…”

“We had a wonderful day with Juanse as our host. Whilst I chose not to ride, my travel partner, who is an experienced rider had a fantastic time watching the morning chuckas, learning the basics and then getting to play some polo with the group and the support staff. He specifically noted how well the day was run to include people with varied (including none) riding experience. Lunch was great - lots of various meats, veggies and wine or juice etc. as a non rider I really enjoyed the park like grounds, the birds, watching the games, and the dogs - bring your binoculars. All round positive and fun day.”

“A Must-do when visiting Argentina! Besides the beauty of the venues and horses, what made it unique was the personalized attention of the polo professionals, as well as the great barbecue and delicious wine and traditional food.

We were each invited to throw the starting ball out at the beginning of a chucka and ring the bell at the end.

Afterwards a beautiful and delicious Asada was presented in a lovely rutic-elegant setting. In the end our host walked…”
