Estancia Don Joaquin is a family-run working ranch in the heart of Argentina’s countryside. Born twenty years ago as a private family home, it has evolved into a place where guests experience the land on horseback — discovering the wildlife, open landscapes, and living the gaucho traditions that define this region.
The estancia remains an authentic working cattle ranch at its core, set among lagoons, wetlands, and rivers in a rich subtropical landscape. It is home to a breeding herd of 150 Criollo horses and Criollo crosses, which roam and graze freely across the grasslands, living in balance with the cattle and native wildlife.
