We love learning from other people and cultures, and in return sharing our own. The place is quiet and full of native fauna, plenty of birds of various types are always hanging out around our pond.

We have 3 houses, 2 of them prepared for our guests. The nearest town is Capilla del Señor which is 4 km away from the farm. It’s a lovely colonial town where you can find anything that you need and participate in traditional activities.

During the weekend there’s always a lot of people coming and going, riding, relaxing and eating a typical ‘Asado’. If you love nature and horses this is definitely the place for you.

Ranching and Horse Riding Volunteering in Argentina Tasks & Roles

The role of the volunteer will be to help us with the everyday care of our horses and dogs and a little bit of general maintenance of the farm.
The typical activities are feeding horses and dogs, saddling and cleaning – of course there’s always some poo to pick up. Also some general maintenance duties like helping fix a fence or get some wood for the fire place.

There’s Wi-Fi available in all the houses so that you can stay in touch with your friends or family.

You will also learn all about managing a horse farm in the Argentinean way. You will have the chance to live all the Argentinean traditions like drinking mate or eating an Asado.
Sight Seeing: There are different buses that take you for example to Buenos Aires city or any of the other closer towns such as Lujan, where you can visit the famous Basilica to which thousands of pilgrims go every year – walking or horseback riding. Also we are close to San Antonio de Areco, another cute, little colonial town that you shouldn’t miss.
