Sayta means “where time stands still” in Aymara - and it certainly does in this beautiful Argentinian ranch, nestled among tobacco fields, in Chicoana, about 40km south of Salta. Its charismatic owner, Enrique, presides over a business that is obviously his great pride and joy. We had booked a half day’s horse-riding, great for beginners like us, but there are also longer tours for more experienced riders, and accommodation in the white-washed colonial-style estancia. Rufillo, our laid-back gaucho, took us out riding on two very docile horses. You either walk or gallop. Gauchos don’t trot, he told us. Three hours later, and slightly saddle-sore, we were ready for lunch - a huge barbecue or asado with succulent meats, delicious salads and copious amounts of local red wine. We wished time could have stood still for much longer.
