Cordoba / Mendoza: Discover the Polo 2021

If playing Polo is your passion or your life-long dream, this is your chance! Funny, fast ed emotional, Polo is a fantastic team sport that merges the saddle ability with the capacity of mastering the ball. We are talking about an ancient team game, that originated some century before Christ. It arrived in Argentina with some english people at the end of XIX century and it had a big dissemination between landowners, becoming quickly the symbol af Argentine middle class. It can’t exist an enviroment more suitable than the wide expanses of gauchos’ lands. Today it’s a national sport, and there are more than 250 Polo Clubs all around the Country, particulary into Mendoza’s and Cordoba’s regions.

This equestrain sport is said to be the natural evolution of the drills that English cavalry used to do to train for mounted combact during military campaigns: one can see the gesture a player makes, swinging the club from top to bottom to hit the ball; it’s similar to the slash taht vibes from a cavalry sabre-rattling

Always regarded as a sport for kings, princes, dukes and officals, Polo reminds medieval carousels and, as in those days, the cavaliers fight each other, testing their balance. Strenght and virility are the fundamentals to join this equestrian game, one of the oldest in the world, a knight challenge, riding their horses. Starting from a beautiful 15.000 acres Estancia into the natural region of Cordona, on the top of Sierra Chica, you could approach for the first time to Polo, or improve your skills. Suitable for both beginners and experts, this trip mixes Polo and trekking, discovering this amazing region.
