why los potreros?
We Are An Experience - This isn’t your typical boutique hotel. At Los Potreros, you’re stepping into a working Argentine estancia where hospitality is personal, life is authentic, and each day brings new stories. Our home is your home - from the traditional style rooms to the long, laughter-filled meals hosted by our family. You’ll arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.
We Are Authentic - From cattle herding with our gauchos to relaxing under shady trees after a morning on horseback, you’ll experience rural Argentina at its best. Our farm is real - we raise prize-winning Aberdeen Angus cattle and work the land as generations before us have.
Join in, or simply soak up the experience with a glass of Malbec in hand.
We Personalise Every Stay - With over 140 well-trained horses and activities for all riding levels, we’re a rider’s paradise. But we’re also perfect for non-riders. Whether it’s waterfall hikes, birdwatching, visiting Jesuit ruins, or simply relaxing with a book in the sierras, each guest’s experience is tailored with care. Our high staff-to-guest ratio ensures attention to every detail.
NIL SINE AMICITIA – NOTHING WITHOUT FRIENDSHIP
easy to reach, hard to leave.
Though nestled in the heart of the Córdoba hills, we’re just 45 minutes from Córdoba Airport - easy to combine with Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Salta and Iguazu. Imagine leaving the city after breakfast and enjoying a traditional asado in pristine nature by lunchtime.
what sets us apart
Hosted Meals & Farm-to-table Dining: Sundowners on the veranda, picnics in the hills, home-grown vegetables and grass-fed beef, all paired with excellent Argentine wines.
Exclusive Use: Groups of 6+ can book the entire estancia - ideal for families, friends, or those seeking privacy.
Sustainable Tourism: We generate our own power (wind and solar), grow much of our own produce, and support our local community.
WHO ARE OUR GUESTS?
We appeal to a wide customer demographic from singles to honeymooners, families to retirees. We generally attract the more adventurous or independently minded traveler looking for a mix of authenticity and comfort. Although Estancia Los Potreros attracts many riders (we are without a doubt one of the best estancias for serious riding in Argentina - recently featured in Real Travel ‘World’s Best Horse Riding’ and the Huffington Post ‘Most inspiring horse rides around the world’) we also appeal to non-riders who wish to unwind and feast on the best that Argentina has to offer.
If your clients love combining nature-filled days with convivial evenings in unique and elegant surroundings they will love Los Potreros.
