Polo in Argentina is highly developed and considered the best in the world. This is due to the high quality of the players, the horses used and the great number of establishments used to practice the sport. Argentina is also home to the most prestigious tournaments in the world every year.

Argentravel can organize a fun and exciting afternoon of playing polo. Even if you have never mounted a horse before, the instructors have the necessary ability and experience to teach you. At the end of your training you will end up playing a match with your adventure partners. It has been tested and guaranteed! The experience lasts approximately 6 hours: it begins once you are picked up at the hotel (or you meet at a nearby location). The trip to the countryside lasts 30 minutes. After a brief theoretical introduction, you will be taught how to mount a horse (if you don’t already know how to do so) until you feel confident. Once you are comfortable, you will learn the basic polo strokes. After this first part of the class you will take a short break. During the second part of the class you will learn the rules of the game and play a match! On occasion the activity will last longer because the class coincides with the professional player’s practices and you can stay longer to watch them play. The class fee includes round-trip transportation from/to the town center and instruction (this includes horse and equipment (helmet, boots and riding crop) rental.
