Useful information

There are some places where time is measured in hoofbeats and the shifting seasons. So settle into your saddle and prepare for a ride across the Argentine Pampas, through French wildflower meadows and on again to Spanish sierras–in conversation with those taking the reins of these equine escapes.

Plan your visit to the restaurant La table du Colibri

Throw open the doors of Estancia El Colibri in Santa Catalina and contemplate 420 acres/170 hectares of unspoiled, open landscape, with the plains of Córdoba in the background. Explore this vast terrain on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback for an incomparable feeling of freedom. With binoculars, you can observe the many species of birds that live on the estate-in particular, keep an eye out for hummingbirds and listen for the characteristic 'buzz' of their tiny wings.

Ecotourism and organic farm

Share a moment with friends and family around the El Colibri asado, a traditional Argentinian barbecue comprising up to 12 types of meticulously selected local meats. Get set for an exceptional culinary journey, accompanied by the best, specially chosen Argentinian wine pairings.

A traditional Argentinian barbecue

This half-day culinary program begins with collecting fresh produce from the estate's organic gardens, including vegetables, fruits, aromatic herbs and fresh eggs. Participants then enter the family kitchen of El Colibri to prepare a three-course meal with their harvest, under the watchful and caring eye of the restaurant's chef. A unique moment of sharing, which will appeal to nature lovers and gourmets in search of culinary authenticity.

Immersive Cooking Classes

At La Table du Colibri, dishes are prepared daily with products sourced from the farm and the vegetable garden. For Léo Bramajo, it is their freshness as well as their unadulterated flavors that delight. These ingredients are the perfect manifestation of Argentine terroir and conjure a unique culinary experience in a completely authentic atmosphere.

Beef, mutton, eggs and milk from their farm, fruit, herbs and home-grown vegetables are the ingredients for unforgettable barbecues in a convivial atmosphere, which forms the essence of Argentinean countryside.

El Colibri

Plan your stay at El Colibri

Reserved exclusively for guests staying more than two nights, this experience offers the chance to appreciate Argentina at the pace of a horse. Embark on a three- to six-hour trek through the magnificent landscapes of the Sierras de Córdoba and the Pampas. Two options are available: two half-day rides, or a single journey with a picnic in the open air. Led by the gauchos of El Colibri, you’ll discover the remarkable bond that exists between them and their criollo horses, amid the freedom of the great outdoors.

A paradise for equine enthusiasts

Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and spread over a vast territory, the Jesuit estancias of Cordoba are of major cultural and architectural interest. Just four miles/seven kilometers from El Colibri, Santa Catalina, founded in 1622, is renowned for its remarkable colonial-era church. And nine miles/14 kilometers away, Jesus Maria is home to a museum dedicated to religious art from the 17th and 18th centuries, where you can also admire a beautiful collection of tableware and furniture from the period.

The gardens of El Colibri are a true ode to nature. Fresh flowers grow alongside fruits and vegetables, ready to be harvested for the restaurant. Created in 2011, the organic farm allows the property to offer exceptional meat, charcuterie, cheese and other dairy products.

El Colibri focuses on the whole family, with activities suitable for all ages, from baking classes to bike rides, or discovering animal life on the farm. Guided by Maxi, the establishment's own gaucho, your children will be able to feed goats, sheep and llamas, as well as harvest eggs from the henhouse and fruits from the orchard.

Activities for the whole family

Explore the vast wilderness around El Colibri on horseback, accompanied by gauchos-Argentinian cowboys. Through plains and forests, and along mountain roads, all levels of experience can expect an unforgettable excursion.

Horseback riding

I have loved polo for years and it was a dream come true when I created my El Colibri Polo Club team, who compete in numerous tournaments on horses bred and trained on the estate. The two large fields are equipped with an irrigation system for an optimum lawn quality all year round. So anyone can take part, whether amateur or professional and whatever your level.
