For all the gold that’s passed through the city, Jo’burg’s enduring colour is green: while there may be no sea here, no mountain or grand river to draw the eye, the city is awash with trees.

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. Beyond this, the area around Estancia Los Potreros is perfect for walking and horse riding.

Hardy and intelligent, criollo horses have remarkable endurance. They can survive extreme temperatures and live off scarce food and water resources. But this breed, of Spanish descent, comes into its own when working cattle. Cutting into herds and facing off against bulls, they’re quick on their hooves and brave, the perfect match for the daring gaucho.
