Gauchos have been hitching their mounts to this estancia's namesake- a giant ombú tree (Phytolacca dioica) that presides over the lush 750-acre grounds (including two swimming pools)-for over a century. Constructed in 1880 by the Argentine general Pablo Ricchieri, El Ombú was solely a working estancia until 1992. These days, it offers nine bedrooms for guests interested in just loafing or, if they like, observing (or participating in) the workaday life of the ranch with its stock of Hereford and Aberdeen Angus cattle. Hearty criolla (Creole) fare is served up along with Argentinean wines at mealtime. El Ombú also offers a dude-ranch-worthy day visit (Día de Campo) for city slickers.
