San Antonio de Areco's highly skilled, self-taught artisans produce extraordinary work, with absolute devotion to their craft.

It is a real privilege to see these silversmiths and leather workers in their workshops that showcase their creations. Pieces can be bought off the shelf. Prices reflect the time taken to make a piece - anything from a week for a decorative leather belt to two years for a set of intricately carved silver goblets or a set ceremonial gaucho reins.

Ponchos, thread and woolen shawls are weaven in the artisans loom just like Aborigen women did three hundred years ago.
