We spent a day in a town about an hour and a half outside of Buenos Aires called San Antonia de Areco. We went to a large estancia/farm where we had a whole day to enjoy the grounds as well as a meal (Dia del Campo). We took a cart ride, ate a huge meal called an Asado (all traditional grilled meats and salads), and watched a show of dancing and singing styles from the various provinces of Argentina. 
After lunch we watched traditional gaucho games, where a man rides a horse very quickly down a dirt track and attempts to put a small wood stick through a tiny ring hanging from a string. We then got the opportunity to ride a cabalgata--a long horseback ride. We toured through the city and parks of the small town and were able to walk, trot, and gallop on the horses.
