There are few better feelings than arriving at the cattle station after a long morning working with the cows. Horses untacked beneath the trees, the smell of meat and vegetables slowly grilling over the fire, and the sight of a fully stocked bar waiting in the shade - the perfect reward after a morning in the saddle.

At Los Potreros, we take picnics seriously. Forget soggy sandwiches and a slightly bruised apple. Here, lunch might mean lomitos - tender fillet steak sandwiches served in freshly baked buns with generous spoonfuls of homemade chimichurri, accompanied by fresh salads and a fruity sangria made with the finest Argentine wine.

Enjoy the views of the horses happily rolling and grazing in the garden as everyone sits down at a long table under the trees and shares stories of their morning adventure. Perhaps the biggest challenge of the day comes in deciding which homemade sauce deserves pride of place on your plate. From fresh salsa criolla to a slightly spicy chimichurri and homemade mayonnaise, there is always plenty to choose from - although at Los Potreros, we firmly believe the more sauces, the better.

After a long, relaxed lunch, it only feels right to spend an hour or so stretched out in a hammock, surrounded by peacefully grazing horses and the sound of birdsong, before saddling up once again for the afternoon ride home on your trusty steed.

Whether it is homemade burgers with blue cheese or crispy milanesa sandwiches, there is something undeniably special about eating outdoors in the middle of the rolling hills, with lunch cooked just metres from the table.

A day spent riding, eating and unwinding in the countryside is one of the simplest pleasures here - and for many guests, our picnics become one of the most memorable parts of their stay at Los Potreros.
