Today we went to the farm! First we had to meet the tour bus at the Hotel Alvear. Hotel Alvear is one of the most luxurious hotels in the city. A simple room costs $400.
After an hour or so of driving through typical pampas countryside, we arrived at the Estancia Don Silvano. After our welcome empanadas and wine, we were able to enjoy the activities of the farm.


At 1:00 they rang the dinner bell and we all piled into the dining room (equipped for easily 300 people). We were served botomless wine, beer, and softdrinks. Salads, bread, and then came the meat. Chorizo sausages, blood sausage, grilled chicken, and finally sirloins steaks on the grill. All the while we were being entertained by a music and dance show of typical dances and songs of each of the regions of Argentina.

After lunch there was a demonstration of gaucho (cowboy) horseriding skills.

Finally, we had goodbye mate cocido and pastries.
