Activities

A typical day starts by waking to the songs of birds and enjoying a typically light Argentine breakfast of coffee, juice and pastries. Then, it's off to stick and ball sessions and tutoring. Sessions end with a break for lunch and a well-earned siesta. In the afternoon, knowledge gained in lessons is put to use in chukkers. Polo usually remains in the 12-goal level, ideal for teaching. Post-polo teas turn into "chalk talks" and include cold drinks and traditional Argentine appetizers in a social atmosphere. After dinner, all return to the living room for coffee, brandy and cigars.

Non-playing companions can enjoy the swimming pool or take a stroll on foot or horseback through the extensive arboretum, where many of the trees date back well into the last century. Horses are always available during non-structured hours and guests can stick and ball on their own or explore the pampa at a leisurely pace.
