On the second day, guests enjoy a private horseback ride through the Uco Valley on Criollo horses, accompanied by stories and insights into rural life from the owner of Entreandes.

The itinerary also includes a visit to KDS Fine Cutlery to observe the craftsmanship of local bladesmiths and other artisans up close.
Back at the hotel, the spa program continues with a Yerba Mate treatment that incorporates the region’s signature infusion into multiple steps—body exfoliation, masque and massage—bringing the herb’s antioxidant and energizing benefits into the wellness experience.
