The sweeping Argentine Pampas -- the domain of gauchos -- beckons you to explore on horseback today. Whether you're a complete beginner needing a stately steed or an experienced rider looking for a spicier time, there is a horse or pony perfectly suited to your riding ability.
Listen to an informative talk about the ranch and the ponies (they are polo horses); then, select your pony and enjoy a refreshment as (s)he is being saddled for you. You'll set out on your ride, which takes you out onto the pampas for two hours in Argentina's countryside. And a great team of qualified instructors will be along for the ride.
A complete barbecue lunch offers excellent asado -- a selection of grilled meat (vegetarian options are available) accompanied by premium Argentine wines. Savor this opportunity to try delicious regional food.
Relax afterward or take a walk through the beautiful countryside before returning to the cruise terminal.
