A voyage to the past in Candelaria del Monte

A voyage to the past in Candelaria del Monte. Sofisticated rusticity. Opposites complement each other. A sofisticated and elegant countryside estate. Also very comfortable and considered even in every detail to be intensely lived.

This is how “Estancia Candelaria del Monte” [estate] is: “A place where the experience of the Argentine countryside tradition may be lived”.

In the middle of a dense park, from 1830, that zealously protects the privacy of the principal manor and its big swimming pool, with centennial banana trees, gingko bilobas, casuarines, eucalyptus and a large variety of pines that give off their perfume in the air. Walking in this park gets us more in contact with more intense scents and colors of the nature.

Further away, rustic and timeless, the landscape of the wide prairie of the Pampas opens where the green of the land merges with the intense blue of the sky with scattered stains of game, native horses and infinite number birds.

The estate is 120 km from the city of Buenos Aires, 90 Km away from Ezeiza airport and 10 km away of San Miguel del Monte. San Miguel del Monte is a typical town of the Argentine Pampas with the remains of the colonial architecture evident in the church and in the Town hall [“Intendencia”] opposite to the square and many other buildings in the downtown area. The town stands out historically because of its important history under Juan Manuel de Rosas. Because of this the town has got a long and rich tradition reflecting the different traditionalist celebrations.

An interesting aspect and highly valued is their specialization in small groups. They generally host not more than 10 people. Turning the service highly personalized and focused on offering a genuine “product”. Visitors who stay mainly do so, to disconnect from the stressful life and to rest in a peaceful and quiet environment.

Depending on the visitor interest, they are invited to take part in some rural tasks (light ones) horse riding. Therefore, travelers who have never seen cows from close distance, find themselves herding cows along the Pampas on their own. This is one of the most commented activities later while having a beer and laughing of the performance in these new skills.

In the polo season there are daily practices in the nearby polo clubs, for example Santa María de Lobos. This visit takes two hours and has only got the cost of transportation from and to the estancia. (Transportation is provided by the estancia and has got an additional cost). This is an excellent alternative for people interested in sports: watching polo from first-hand, walking among horse stables, talking with polo players, etc. It is also possible to take a coffee or cooling beverages at the club House.

The gastronomical proposal generously, healthy and creatively reflects the traditional Argentinian food. The estancia has got an organic vegetable garden which offers all kind of vegetables. Free-range poultry are also raised and the own honey production is offered.

Another interesting option is a “Countryside Day” what includes the activities at the estancia and the use of common areas. This plan is ideal for those who have the time to stay and wish to live a different and special experience in the Argentine country side.
It is important to take into consideration that the Estancia Candelaria is not open throughout the whole year. It opens from October to May. It closes from June to September and, also, on New Year’s Eve.
