Horseback Riding in the Andes, gaucho experience & BBQ

4.9(25)9 hFree cancellationBy Destino Montaña

About this activity

This is not just a horseback ride followed by lunch. It’s a full day immersed in mountain life at a family-run ranch in the Andes.

You’ll ride natural mountain trails with local horsemen, cross clear creeks, and stop in the mountains for a traditional Argentine asado cooked over an open fire.

What makes the experience special is its small, personal setting. You’ll spend the day with Daniel’s family and local team, sharing food, stories, horses, and traditions in the place where they are part of everyday life.

Rather than a staged gaucho show or a large tourist ranch, this is a rustic and genuine experience designed to bring you closer to the people, landscapes, and culture of the Argentine Andes.
