Be ready for convenient pickup at your Buenos Aires hotel (Montserrat, San Nicolas, Retiro, Recoleta) at 10:30 a.m., where you'll climb in to a comfortable tour vehicle for the 31-mile (50-km) ride to the ranch (estancia).

The team will welcome you with an informative talk about polo and the horses bred on the estancia. While you listen, snack on some empanadas and sip some local wine. Learn about polo's rules and techniques from the instructors, then walk out on the fields frequented by Adolfo Cambiaso, one of the world's best polo players. Mount up and take a 2-hour polo clinic, suitable for both beginners and advanced players.

Refuel with a traditional barbecue, known as an asado, featuring local meat and wine. Relax around the swimming pool, play tennis, or walk through the fields. Sip tea and mate, or sample Argentinian snacks before returning to Buenos Aires via bus.
