What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Parque Criollo Ricardo Güiraldes for its authentic connection to gaucho tradition and beautiful natural setting. The 'Festival of Tradition' is a highlight, offering an immersive cultural experience. However, some guests find the admission prices to be quite high, particularly outside of special events.
"Beautiful park in San Antonio de Areco. A true connection with nature.
The times I've been, it was during the celebrations for Traditional Day: highly recommended!"
Carolina Rossi
"San Antonio de Areco is undoubtedly an icon of our gaucho tradition and is always a great place to visit, but if there's a special time to do so, it's during the "Festival of Tradition." During those days (usually in November), you can truly connect with our rural traditions and enjoy them to the fullest. It's a highly recommended experience to have at least once. If you're a photography enthusiast, you'll surely want to return more than once!"
Ricardo Franke
"A national historical monument, declared to preserve the customs and traditions of the Argentine gaucho, it boasts among its curiosities cows and bulls with the original pedigrees from the colonial era, quite different from those we are used to seeing. On November 11th, the Festival of Tradition takes place, a unique spectacle."
