Play polo in Buenos Aires
Argentine Open
Polo was introduced to Argentina by the British and has become a
major national sport. Argentina is home to the world's best
players, most of whom travel to England or the US in the winter to
earn their living and return to Buenos Aires to compete in the most
gruelling tournament of the year, the Argentine Open. The teams -
which are often dominated by the big polo families of the Heguys,
Merlos and Pieres - play a series of eight-chukka matches to a
packed crowd at the Palermo stadium. For more information contact
