The Pampas is an extensive plain of
green grass that covers almost the 25% or 700,000 sq KM of the Argentine territory.
Including mainly the provinces of: Buenos
Aires and La Pampa. It also includes the southern part of Córdoba, southern part
of Santa Fe, western part of San
Luis and southern part of Entre Ríos.
Cradle of the legendary Gaucho, has
been the center of all the romantic fantasies on Argentina. Extensive fields
of grass, sorghum, wheat, corn and sunflower grow under an endless blue
sky. The horses tied to the "tranquera" and the gauchos drinking mate under
the shade of a ombú.
Is also here where the most flavorful
meat of the world is produced, and also where the Argentine folk music
has its main artists.
Where does the name Pampa come from
? The opinions are divided. One affirms that Pampa means, in quéchua
language, " flat area ".
Enjoy staying in one of the hundreds
of ranch and residences of colonial, British or French style that covers
the Pampa. Participating in all the activities that that have to be made
in a ranch: driving, lacing, and marking of cows and sheep.
Together with the "Gaucho", and wearing the traditional outfit. Enjoying
the good food, with the Argentinean barbecue as the main course,
and the fireside at the end of the day.
