Why we have chosen General Why we have chosen General Alvear?Alvear?

We have chosen General Alvear because after spending the rush hour in a noisy city, it´s relaxing for us to ride horses, to listen to birds singing, to watch them flying, and to enjoy the sunset.

Those are worth things that human beings sometimes forget to contemplate.

We hope you have learnt a lot about Argentina.

We highly recommend you to visit it
