My husband and I booked a day at this estancia and it was one of the highlights of our whole trip.

We were picked up for $115 round trip (and we able to share a ride with another couple) and spent $80 per person for a wonderful day of riding and great food in the countryside.

The day started with a light breakfast and then we were paired up with our horses according to skill level. There were 8 of us total plus two guides. Those who felt comfortable galloping were with one guide and the others walked. We toured the property and had a great time on the incredibly well trained horses (these are not the mangy stubborn mounts you may be used to from your average touristy trail ride).

Lunch was a feast - drinks and appetizers followed by meat, meat and more meat, and then a sumptious dessert. After that we had an hour to rest and wander the prooperty before mounting up for another amazing afternoon ride.

After the end of a long day we returned for a farewell drink and drive back to the city. It was perfect and I would absolutely reccomend this as a part of your Buenos Aires experience. Even if you aren't that experienced of a rider you will be fine. My husband has only ridden a few times and was galloping by the afternoon.

The guides were friendly, the horses were wonderful, the food was amazing - it was a perfect day with the gauchos.

“Wonderful Horseback Riding in Buenos Aires”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

We had a wonderful weekend at Estancia Los Dos Hermanos, and would strongly recommend it for others.

For $120, a driver will pick you up and return you to Buenos Aires. The car is a nice Puegeot with a good driver. Our weekend cost 3,000 Argentine pesos (US$1,000) for 2 nights, 3 days of riding (2 rides a day), and all food (breakfast, lunch, dinner, wine, etc). This was paid in cash. This was for 3 people (husband, wife, and 10-year-old daughter). Initially, I thought that sounded expensive, but it the end, I think it was well worth it.

The food is good, not spectacular. The accommodation was very interesting. The property seems to have several houses, cottages, scattered around, and we had one of those houses (3 bedrooms). Everything was spotless clean, not 5-star glamorous, but nice. It was Argentina winter - and the staff kept a big fire going in little house.

The real reason to come here is the people and the horses. The guys who lead the trail rides were fantastic. Pancho & Ana (owners) are wonderful. The other guests during our were extremely fun and interesting (couple from the British Embassy; Air France Flight attendants; investment banker, visiting medical doctor).

You eat collectively with everyone visiting that day - and this was really fun.

I am a poor rider - so were almost all the others. The guides were extremely careful with us and the horses most obedient. If you have never ridden before, you'll still be fine here. My daughter, on the other hand, is quite a good rider. So, they separated her from the others, gave her a guide of her own -and off they went. So I think they can handle any ability level.

If we return to Buenos Aires, Los Dos Hermanos is the first thing we would do again. It's lovely, charming, fun, and safe.

My husband and I just returned from a two week vacation in Buenos Aires and our day at Estancia Los Dos Hermanos was absolutely a highlight!
Neither of us have horseback riding experience, but by the end of the day we were both galloping with confidence.
It was lovely riding the calm horses and observing the natural beauty of the land. We saw owls and parrots along the way and other ranches nearby. The sun came out in the afternoon and we were all enjoying the warmth of the sun.
The staff who work the estancia are #1 in their care and professionalism. We were very well taken care of and the food and drinks were extremely generous and the quality was excellent.
The car ride took about 2 hours from B.A. in the morning because of traffic but the return was about 1.5 hours. We didn't spend the night, but saw the rustic cabins and they seem great.
I don't think anyone would be disappointed if they go here.

“Fabulous place to go - peaceful and great food!”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

7/7 found this review helpful

We have never ridden horses so were somewhat reluctant but turns out that most other people who came on our day were equally inexperienced - it really doesnt matter as the horses here as so well trained that you have nothing to fear! The Estancia is very picturesque and is a great escape from BA - we had excellent weather and the light on the fields and trees was very beautiful. Riding was not really the highlight for me (v sore afterwards!) but im so glad we went as it was just great to be out in the countryside seeing another part of Argentinian life. Our horse guide Alexandro was extremely knowledgeable and helpful - and best of all was the lunch - 3 courses of fantastic bbq meat! I think out of the (many) meals we had in Argentina this was right up there - i know food tastes better outside but it was also due to the delicious meat and the great outdoor bbq - very succulent and smoky - YUM!!!! we paid $135US which included a days riding (about 3 hours split over 2 1.5 hr sessions), lunch, dinner (also yummy!), accomodation (nice - quaint - self contained house - open fire, rustic furnishings - not 5 star but really comfortable and felt quite authentically gaucho rather than a tourist version (I could be completely off here and real gauchos might scoff but the whole place felt like the real mccoy), and breakfast (typical forgettable argenitian one - but you will still be full from dinner). The driver was extra - $58USD each way from BA to Estancia. Would recommend including an overnight stay (one is plenty unless you are really into horseriding) as it was lovely to be there at sunset/
sunrise with the animals/peace and quite. It was a wonderful day - beautifully relaxing countryside and good to be doing something different on holiday (makes a change from pounding the streets to look at tourist attractions/find the next great meal), Highly recommended!

“Horse lover central”

Estancia Los Dos Hermanos

May 18, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

This is an excellent estancia to visit for the day to get out of the polluted capital and enjoy some fresh air. Four hours of horse back riding and an amazing asado (barbeque) makes for a memorable Argentinian experience. The staff are very attentive and keep close to beginners on horseback. For advanced riders, there is lots of cantering and the scenery is picturesque. You will no doubt catch glimpses of burrowing owls and native birds.

Dos Hermanos is a great excursion both for visitors and expats living in Buenos Aires. It is a horse lover's perfect retreat. Cabins are also available for rent for anyone wanting a longer stay, and also a nice option for families or a group of friends.

Great horses, warm and accommodating owners and fabulous food , what more can you ask for?
