FOUNDED IN 1964

In 1961 the sons of Don Manuel Bourdieu, owner of what was then called “Estancia San José” located no more than a league from the town Salvador María, began to cut down a paddock that gradually became the first polo field.

They played there for three years, but there were many enthusiasts who came to participate such as their cousins from “El Carmen” who in turn brought their friends and family. Neighboring farms such as “La Alborada”, “El Amparo” and “Los Cardales” amongst others, also contributed with their equipment, and the idea of founding a polo club was outlined.

It was in 1964 that this dream came true and ARAUCARIA POLO CLUB was founded, baptizing it with that name in honor of the oldest tree in Estancia San José. At that time, it was also registered in the Argentine Polo Association as an adherent club. During those years, different cups continued to be played, such as “Las Estancias” cup, considered the most important, in addition to “La Aracuaria” and “San José” cups, as well as other tournaments played in neighboring estancias.

In 1967, after the death of Don Manuel Bourdieu, it was decided to move the polo to Estancia “La Milagrosa” owned by Pancho Pepe Bourdieu, alternating it with Estancia “La Gama” owned by Dr. Raúl Laplacette.

Polo was played there until 1972, when a group of members and friends decided to undertake the enormous and ambitious project to set the Club´s permanent headquarters.

Nowadays, located next to “Laguna de Lobos”, the Club has 3 polo fields, football and tennis court, clubhouse, stables & paddocks, exercise track and a combination of experienced and young members who play all year round. Kids and beginners take part of the Polo School.

Tournaments are organized during spring and autumn seasons, the most significant ones being the Araucaria Open and Copa Ciudad de Lobos, in which the final stage is played in Palermo.

FOUNDED IN 2014

The social and sporting highlight of St. Moritz. Every last weekend in January, St. Moritz turns into the world capital of polo: since 1985, when snow polo had its world premiere here, teams from around the world compete for the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz on the frozen lake of St. Moritz.

The Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz is the world’s first and best tournament on snow. The three days of the tournament stand for high-class polo played against the magnificent backdrop of the snow-capped mountains of the Engadin Valley and social events both on the lake and in the first-class hotels in St. Moritz.

An unforgettable experience.

FOUNDED IN 1929

The club has 7 polo fields with boards and sprinkler irrigation system, with more than 60 active polo members, among them the brothers Sebastián and Juan Harriott, Benjamín, Santiago, Pepe and Diego Araya, Juan José Brane, Marcelo Frayssinet, Ignacio and Juan Badiola, among other great polo players.

This important number of polo members allows the club to organize practices every weekend of the year -except for weekends when it rains-, and they are organized as follows: on Fridays and Saturdays high handicap players play mixed with low handicap players, and on Sundays the practices are “selective” of high, medium and low handicap players, that is to say, they are organized taking into account the valuations of each player.
