"Staying at El Porvenir was nothing short of magical! From the moment we arrived, we were transported into the heart of nature, feeling like a true gaucho. Our week was packed with unique experiences that made it truly one-of-a-kind.
The accommodations were incredibly comfortable, allowing us to unwind after exciting days. Horseback riding through stunning landscapes, camping under the stars, and taking refreshing swims in the rivers made each moment unforgettable.
The culinary experience was exceptional — each meal was a delight, featuring delicious local dishes, mouthwatering barbecues, and exquisite Argentinian wines.
Another highlight of our trip was the opportunity to golf at one of the best golf courses in Latin America, just five minutes away from the estancia. The setting of the course provided the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
If you’re looking for a unique getaway that combines nature, adventure, and comfort, I can’t recommend El Porvenir enough. This place captures the spirit of the gaucho lifestyle, and every moment spent there will stay with me forever!"
