La Fortuna Estancia, Pampas, Argentina

Welcoming us to La Fortuna

Today we drove 3 hours out of Buenos Aires to visit an Estancia (Ranch). It was very beautiful, peaceful and the food was tremendous. Here are some interesting photos. Tomorrow we will blog how they create a saddle that can go on any horse and also how they saddle the horses for Audrey.

Pa took a ride on Paloma for Audrey

Traditional Dancers

An "old" Gaucho and the lead Gaucho at La Fortuna

Here he is as we were saying farewell

Up Close and Personal (He was a cool looking gaucho, just what you would expect)


They lined up to wave adios!

This looks like a beautiful extancia. The old gaucho could be out of a story book. Yes, the photos are interesting.
Audrey will love the horses.
Love and Hugs
