Itinerary
Be ready for convenient pickup at your Buenos Aires hotel (Montserrat, San Nicolas, Retiro, Recoleta) at 10:30 a.m., where you'll climb into 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. Learn about polo's rules and techniques from the instructors. The instructors will also talk about the horses used for the sport, their selection, breeding and training. The idea is that you feel part of the team and it is designed for all levels, it is a very fun activity in which everyone can participate. After the Poloo lesson, the Polistas will invite you to 'Play a game' with them to practice what you have learnt. 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. After lunch, you can relax, play tennis, or walk through the fields. Sip tea and mate, or sample Argentinian snacks.
After this day at the ranch, you will start the returning to Buenos Aires via bus.

Fabulous polo experience with my coach Ezequiel. The intro and instruction was clear and thorough in English. The one on one teaching was excellent. I was able to control th horse and hit the balls. Great introduction to the sport. Would recommend any friends to this.
Thank you, Jasonl! We’re glad you enjoyed your lesson with Ezequiel and had a great introduction to polo. We’d love to welcome you back!
While the weather was awful, the staff ensured that I had a wonderful experience. The location is just stunning and lunch was incredible. I would recommend this tour for absolutely everybody no matter what your horse experience is. I’d travel all the way from Australia just to do this again
Thanks for your kind words! We’re happy the team made your day memorable, despite the weather. Hope to see you again at Villa Maria!
This polo experience is immersive and welcoming for anyone, regardless of their experience with polo or horseback riding. I highly recommend trying it while in Argentina.
Thank you, Luis! We’re glad you enjoyed the polo experience and recommend it to others. Come back anytime for more fun!
