What is an Estancia? Basically a cattle ranch with the flair of Trump. The gates are seemingly miles from the house, unlike the U.S. where the farm house are up front and all the fields in the back. Driving into the middle of nowhere we were greeted with fields of sunflowers, past their prime (but who isn't). Two sets of gates, cows, or cattle, or bulls, who knows, big animals and then the horses. The most beautiful horses I've ever seen are here in Argentina.
And, then the house, glorious. Built in the 1800's with 16 foot ceiling and windows to match. Fireplaces in all the rooms. Polo silver cups lined the hallways. Mind you, we came from a hostel, where it was privilege to have our own bathroom. All for a few more peso's.
