At a 30 min drive from Santiago, enter a complete different world.

Go off the beaten track on a horseback-riding tour through the mountains of the Santiago area. With an expert English speaking guide, you’ll follow local ‘arrieros’ (cowboys) across mountains and ridges with amazing views of the Santiago valley!

You will learn about Chile's horsemanship traditions, spot different native trees, sorts of vegetation, mountain micro-climates, and all of this while enjoy the breathtaking vistas on horseback. For sure some other furry friends like dogs will join us as well.

Activity suitable for beginners and experts...these small but sturdy Criollo horses will put anyone at ease. We lend you some chaps & a helmet for a safe ride!

After our ride, we enjoy a delicious gourmet picnic with wine, ham & cheeses with fresh bread and seasonal fruits, and showcasing local products.

A grand horseback riding experience through the hills of the Andes

A magnificent horseback riding experience through the hills of the Andes. Gustavo, our private Waso (Chilean cowboy!) guide pointed out all of the flora and fauna along a beautiful path overlooking Santiago. His concern for our safety was a priority and the horses, just lovely. We ended our journey with a delicious barbecue lunch.
So much fun!

Our guide, Gustavo, led us around open trails and showed us how to ride in a slow paced and casual environment. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the day.
Wonderful tour!

Will, Mirta and Orlando were very friendly and professional guides. We all enjoyed this activity very much and it was a memorable and well organized outing. The ride was a good length followed by a lovely picnic to end and the ranch was located only a short distance from Santiago which made it even better. Thank you for a great experience.
Excellent tour

Wonderful private tour! We had excellent communication prior to pick up with lots of helpful tips to guide us safely to our pick up spot(since our hotel was outside the pickup range. Our guide Will, was prompt and he was extremely knowledgeable about the city, the culture and set the tone for our fabulous horseback adventure. The horses were gentle and our ride was wonderful. We saw such beautiful scenery: with the Andes as a backdrop, we saw eagles, condors, meadowlarks, quail, a rabbit and the large statuesque cacti. Will was very attentive in getting many photos for us. After our ride we sat down for a tasty charcuterie of all local cheeses, meats, and of course wine! A truly wonderful adventure thanks to Will and his wife making it such a memorable experience!
