Festival nacional de doma y folklore de Jesús María

When we were in our little cabaña in San Agustin, we´d seen some footage on TV of the Gaucho Rodeo called Festival nacional de doma y folklore de Jesús María. It looked amazing and we´d said to one another how great it´d be to go. When we got to Cordoba we realised that it was just up the road.


We got there and there was a real festival atmosphere, loads of people, loads of stalls selling gaucho paraphernalia, parrilla (bbq) tents everywhere etc.









In the stadium the gauchos took it in turns to have a go at taming a wild horse by riding it bare back.
