Polo and Gastronomic Glamour: The Argentine Luxe Experience
In the vibrant heart of Argentina resides a sport that goes beyond being a mere game on horseback. Polo, the royal art on the pampas, has a deeply rooted history in this enchanting land of tango and traditions. It is a pastime that harks back in time, with the affluent elite passionately indulging in the sport and having to cool off their emotions with bubbles after a match.
Although nowadays it might evoke a touch of nostalgia for bygone eras, polo remains fervently cherished and practiced by the well-to-do families in Argentina. Yet, it's no secret that this industry can require a substantial investment. Take, for instance, the Van Andel family, active both in the Netherlands and Argentina in the sport, with the latter boasting the largest breeding program. Even they cannot deny that it can be quite challenging for the purse. "Breeding is gambling," says Dutch polo player Aki van Andel with a grin on his face. In the world of polo, where passion and tradition converge, the game remains unpredictable and challenging, but its allure and unique character remain unmistakable. And for that, people are willing to go the extra mile.
In any case, it is a fact that Argentina is a veritable playground for the upper crust, where celebrities and the well-to-do seek refuge in breathtaking country estates. From colorful mansions in Bariloche to majestic estancias in Cordoba, the country harbors a treasure trove of luxurious hideaways, where the true elite can retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Amidst the enchanting landscapes and opulent accommodations, a lifestyle can be found that can only be described as a gastronomic adventure.
