Pilar is a nondescript town an hour from the centre of Buenos Aires. However, surrounding the town are thousands of hectares of walled neighbourhoods and country clubs that include hundreds of polo pitches. The area is the center of Argentina’s polo, home to the smartest and best known clubs. Even for those who have their own horses in the area, it is very expensive to play polo in Pilar and if you’re hiring horses prices can be astronomical. Nevertheless, if you want to play chukkas alongside the top players Pilar is where to go.
