The advent of summer in the northern hemisphere brings with it the pursuit of ancient lawn sports like polo. A rather dangerous sport, it’s said to date back to 600 B.C. Polo is synonymous with Argentina, but you won’t find tournament action going on there now in their winter season. But why not take the down time to learn polo from the masters? In Pilar, arguably the polo capital of the world and only 45 minutes outside of Buenos Aires is Don Augusto Polo & Campo, offering polo clinics, individual lessons, a one-day polo holiday complete with afternoon tea or a special winter package with tango and Spanish language instruction thrown in if Old Man Winter thwarts your attempt at becoming the next big Nacho (that’s Ignacio Figueras).
