Amazing experience. And most importantly beginner friendly. Two hours of horseback riding to the summit (or about) where you can admire lake argentina from above and then go back down to a tasty lunch. The two guides spoke english and even offered me mata drink during the way there :)) and Lou who was with us during horseback riding took us photos along the way. We had luck with the weather, showers were expected but than it was really sunny (but windy) until the end of the ride and only started raining when we were inside eating lunch. 100% recommend it.

The landscape is dreamed of, just got us a clear day after a snowy day. Wonderful snow peaks. The love and passion that the boys who work put into what they do, is transmitted. Sofia admiring the landscape ❤️

There was way too many people who signed up for the experience at the same time I did. This took away from the interpersonal interaction with the guides and the opportunity to ask questions. It also felt a bit rushed.
Nice but expensive for what you really get.

We had a lovely afternoon and really enjoyed the horseback riding itself, but the whole experience felt a bit oversold. The program is advertised as a four-hour activity, but in reality, we were on horseback for less than two hours. The rest of the time was spent picking up a large group (around 15 people) from various hotels in town and dropping them off again afterward. The promised “typical Argentinian snack” turned out to be coffee and cake — nice enough, but nothing special. During the ride there was no opportunity to take pictures, and our guide Isis and her two helpers never offered to take any either, even though everyone would probably have appreciated that. No wild life seen at all. Isis was described as being very informative, but that wasn’t really the case — and sorry Isis just for the record, Lago Argentino is not one million square kilometers! All in all, a mixed experience: beautiful scenery and pleasant riding, but too expensive for what you get.
Wonderful.

We took the morning ride and got to watch the sunrise over the outskirts of El Calafate. Our guide, Luisina, was super friendly, spoke excellent English, and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. We had plenty of freedom with the horses, and the views were absolutely stunning. Lunch was decent, though I was expecting a bit of meat given we were in the Argentine countryside. Overall, a very fun and memorable experience — definitely worth it!
Great Experience!
