The owner of the Club, Jeremy Baker, is passionate about the sport so he makes sure in his club there is always polo going on. Actually, there is a tournament for each weekend of the year. The most important one is Copa Cañuelas, which takes place in February. The final match is played and celebrated at the Campo Argentino de Polo. This is also where the Palermo Open is played.

The estancia has an exquisite 10 room hotel boutique. Liliana Forrester (Jeremy’s wife) was in charge of the decoration and did a great job.

Itinerary

Pickup and drop off by Ezeiza International Airport, located only 30 minutes away from the estancia.
Check in at the hotel. Welcome reception where guests will meet the polo instructors and polo manager of the club. The hotel staff will show a map of the club and explain to them all what they need to know about the estancia. Beside polo there are many other activities to do so it is important for guests to know this in advance in order to plan their week. The club polo manager and coaches along with the hotel staff will inform time for lessons and chuckers of every day.
Polo: the first day according to arrival time guests will have their first polo lesson; this first lesson is important so coaches can evaluate the riding and polo level of each rider. Horses assigned for the lesson will be easy school horses, and as they progress they will get better ones. In the afternoon guests will have their first 4 chucker practice.
Usually every day after breakfast guests will meet the teachers at the hotel where they can chat about horses and their polo experience at the club. At 11 they will have lessons, guests can get to the stables ( located 400 meters away from the hotel) by bike or by car with the instructors. Lunch usually takes place around 1 pm and then between 2 to 4 pm guests can enjoy the swimming pool or take a nap in the hammocks which are hanging from the trees of the garden of the hotel. Chuckers take place in the afternoon around 5 pm. After polo drinks after practice is the perfect moment to enjoy the pampa sunset and relax after a full day of polo.
The last two days of the polo week players will be able to enjoy a Champagne Challenge tournament.
Each night guests will have dinner at the hotel hosted by the owners of the estancia, indeed Jeremy and Liliana love having dinner with guests and telling them all about the club. The whole idea is to make guests feel like home.
At this club guests never get bored! When not doing polo they will be able to go for a sunset horse ride and get to know the whole estancia, also they will always have a good polo game to watch.
