A stunning Estancia in Buenos Aires province, Las Viboras is a 9,000 hectare cattle ranch made up of Pampas, woodland and wetlands. The farm is the perfect example of an Argentine Estancia and is also the home to an abundance of wildlife including the rare Pampas Deer. Viboras is owned and run by the lovely sisters Guiga and Sandy who have resisted the advances of modern farming and kept the ranch in much the same way it has always been.

Accommodation & Activities
Las Viboras is situated three hours south of Buenos Aires along the coast. The main house is built in the simple style of region and dates back to 1820. Despite the building’s age the spacious, comfy rooms have been perfectly maintained.
The house has a big living room, a games room with a pool table and outside the house is a lovely swimming pool.
The farm is first and foremeost a cattle ranch and the gauchos work in much the same way they always have done. Like any farm it is impossible to predict what they will be doing on any given day. They could be riding out round the farm checking or herding cattle and sheep…
…or working in the corrals – either with the cattle or training the young horses.
And if you tire of riding there are options of carriage rides…
…as well as canoing along the river which is also an excellent way to see the local wildlife…
…such as the rare Pampas deer, wild pigs, Capybara’s (like giant hamsters) and over 80 species of birds inlcuding the Greater Rhea.
