Estancia with polo lessons near Buenos Aires
 
Can anyone recommend an estancia that has polo lessons located within an hour or so from Buenos Aires?

I don't know if they teach polo, but they do have gauchos and horses lol ... a big favorite here and sort of close to town..

I would get in touch with Asociacion
Argentina de Polo, www.aapolo.com.
There is also the Asociacion Argentina de Criadores de Caballos de Polo, and the Asociacion Argentina de Jugadores de Polo
www.poloargentino.com and www.aajp.org.ar

I am sure they can inform you. I guess it not so much a tourist estancia but something more specific. Good luck

This one example of exactly what you are asking for:

I'm not recommending it, just mentioning it

There are many, many others.

If you want more choices, I know precisely who I have to ask.

Have a great time in our country.

Wow , Estancia Don Manuel seems the right place for polo lovers.
Argentina has the best polo players in the world and surely exports its know how all over the world.

Argentina excels in many sports like soccer, tennis, basquetball and others but polo if the sport they are kings year after year after year.
