Don Joaquín

Hidden in the peaceful countryside near Esquina in Corrientes Province, Estancia Don Joaquín is a place where Argentina’s rural traditions come vividly to life. This is a family-run working ranch that blends authenticity with elegance, offering a genuine glimpse into gaucho culture without compromising on comfort.

Days here revolve around the rhythm of the land. Ride with experienced gauchos across open grasslands and shimmering wetlands, spotting capybaras, caimans, and colourful birdlife along the way. Whether you are an expert rider or a beginner, the horses are well-trained and matched to your level, allowing you to experience the landscape as locals have for generations. Beyond the saddle, you can cast a fly for golden dorado in the nearby rivers, enjoy a nature drive through the esteros, or learn the art of Argentine cooking beside the parrilla.

The estancia’s main house combines rustic charm with refined comfort, featuring spacious rooms with en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, and peaceful views of the countryside. Shaded verandas, open fireplaces, and a glittering pool create a setting designed for both relaxation and connection. Meals are a highlight, with home-cooked regional dishes and hearty asados shared under vast skies.

At Estancia Don Joaquín, life slows to the pace of the pampas. It’s a rare opportunity to live Argentina’s traditions first-hand, wrapped in warm hospitality, beautiful scenery, and a deep sense of place.
