Provincia de Corrientes Travel Guide: 59 reviews and 107 photos

Estancia Atalaya - The main house and living area

We stopped somewhere between the two provincal capitals Corrientes and Posadas to visit an typical argentinian "Estancia" (a cattle ranch). There are many of them in this part of Argentina, in the countryside between the two big rivers "Rio Parana" and "Rio Uruguay". In my opinion a visit to Argentina is not complete without watching a cattle ranch. So, please stay here for a while, I tell you more ....

Pros and Cons

Pros:Watching the cattles can be a lot of fun!
Cons:The loneliness!
