THE TEAMS 17

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. Lobos, in which the final stage is played in Palermo.
