ARGENTINA

Al fresco dining, gaucho style, in the rolling hills of the Sierras Chicas

Between the pampas and the Andes, within a range of hills called the Sierras Chicas, the 6,500-acre Estancia Los Potreros offers a taste of Argentina’s treasured rural traditions. A working ranch, home to 500 Aberdeen Angus cattle, it’s where lasso-wielding gauchos on Criollo horses expertly round up the herds, while guests sip mate tea through metal straws and dine on simple classics like gnocchi, empanadas and meat straight from the asado.
