Estancia El Venado was founded in the mid-1800′s, and it has been in the family for over four generations. The history of this Argentina Estancia is evident everywhere one looks. The Cendoya family still lives in the original, updated Hacienda and uses the original outbuildings and barns, which were built from adobe bricks taken from the earth here over 150 years ago.
The trees in the Garden were planted when this Argentine Estancia was founded, and they are striking in their maturity and beauty. There are Avenues of majestic Casurinas, Platanos, and Eucalyptus throughout the Estancia; and beautiful Magnolias, Ombus, and many others living in the Garden. They provide a home for the hundreds of birds here that sing like a chorus all day long, but are especially musical in the early morning.
For four generations the Estancia has been and continues to be a working cattle and horse breeding ranch. Guests can ride out across the fields on Argentine “Criollo” ranch horses using traditional tack and see vistas that are little changed since the area was frontier land.
