Argentina: Horseriding in Patagonia What better way is there to be on horseback with a comfortable saddle covered with thick sheepskin and surrounded by natural beauty? The traditional men of Argentina (gauchos) spend a large part of the day on their horses and without a good saddle; they would never be able to fulfill their tasks. Horse riding tours are available in half day packages or several days trekking over the Patagonian mountain range. On such tours you can expect to see condors (Lions of the Andes), Lamas (Guanacos) and Ostridge's (Choique). For lunch you will be able to try the famous Argentinean 'Asado'. This is meat cooked over an open flame that gives a very natural taste. Along the way you will have the opportunity to try maté, the traditional herbal infusion which is served in a type of curd with a metal straw, usually with homemade bread. For several day horse trips previous experience is advisable as we cover about six to eight hours per day. During these trips, we sleep in mountain huts, small farms or estancias and sometimes in tents. |
Packages for 3 to 7 days on request. The starting point is the city of Bariloche, because the airport there has several flights per day to and from Buenos Aires and other part of the country. |
Indication price for horseriding: Including transport, horses, foot, drinks, sleeping in tents, huts or farms. € 600,- Euro for 5 days Indication price ariline ticket from Buenos Aires to Bariloche € 100,- Euro one way |
