What To Expect
Discover mountain trails, meet local horsemen and their animals, and enjoy an authentic Chilean picnic. After picking you up from your hotel, a short drive will take you to a private ranch at the foothills of the Andes. There, your horse will be ready to start the ride. Before departing, you’ll receive a horseback riding introduction to ensure you feel safe and confident, regardless of your experience. For two hours, we’ll ride along mountain trails surrounded by native flora, open skies, and panoramic views that invite you to disconnect. As you go, you’ll discover the unique bond between rider and horse and the peaceful essence of Chilean rural life. To end the activity, we’ll share a picnic with Chilean wine, southern cheeses, and local products—a moment to relax and enjoy good conversation before returning to the city. Perfect if you want to explore nature with an authentic, gourmet touch just 30 minutes from Santiago. *For the group tour, we require a minimum of 3 participants. If we don’t reach this minimum, we’ll contact you in advance to reschedule, choose a different tour, or arrange a full refund.

An Unforgettable Horseback Riding Adventure in the Andes!

5.00This experience was truly one for the books! Our group embarked on a two-hour horseback ride through the breathtaking Andes mountains, guided by the incredible Gustavo. The scenery was absolutely stunning—vast mountain landscapes, fresh air, and even some wildlife sightings, including condors and hawks soaring above us. One of the unexpected highlights of the trip? Max, the company’s friendly Australian Shepherd, who trotted alongside us the entire way, making sure we had a loyal companion on the trail. The company did a fantastic job ensuring our safety and comfort, providing helmets and thorough instruction so that even beginners felt confident. And while most of us had a smooth start, our most experienced rider, Hillary, had a bit of an unexpected adventure before we even hit the trail. Her horse got a little spooked by a simple step crate, and before we knew it—down she went! Luckily, she walked away with just a few bumps and bruises and was back in the saddle in no time. After the ride, we were treated to a delicious spread of Chilean wine (with French origins), along with crackers, prosciutto, goat cheese, and milk cheese—a perfect way to end the adventure. The owner of the company, originally from New York, is incredibly passionate about horses and sharing this experience with others, which truly made the tour feel special. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to experience the Andes, this horseback riding tour is a must! Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.

5.00We had the loveliest of horseback rides with our guides Josephina and Orlando. They were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and funny too! We got to see nature at its best including some fun with our guide dog Max. The day was perfect and ended with some great wine and a platter of fruit and cheese at the barns with the horses and our new friends. Could not recommend them enough!
Must do while in Santiago

5.00This was a great activity to while in Santiago and to get out of the city into the mountains. I went with my mum and we only had two other with us which was great. Our guide Josifina was so lovely and picked us up from our hotel. The horse riding felt safe and really organised with calm well looked after horses. We had the picnic (cheese and wine) after the ride which was great! And it was really nice to chat with everyone and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and the horse sheds
