Great Experience

5.00Excellent excursion! They even let me know the type/color and license plate of the vehicle that would pick me up, leaving little concern on my end. Joaquin was an amazing guide and even let me know when they were 10min away from picking me up. I would absolutely go on another tour with him. The ride had some hills which allowed for some excitement, as opposed to a flat open road.
6 hour experience that is basic and could be better.

3.00MAKE SURE YOU CONTACT THE LOCAL GUIDE!!! I was looking forward to a sunset ride and a BBQ. Thank goodness I contacted the local number to inquire about my pickup driver and vehicle. She didn't know anything about my 4 pm reservation and asked if I could ride the next morning at 10 am. Well...I paid, so I felt as if I had no choice. RIDE: The two guides were great. The horses were fine. The tour was basic but pleasant. The food was a disappointment although our 'chef' was nice. Nothing was typical Chilean cuisine, especially the Club crackers served with the ham and cheese. Avocados are a major produce in Chile, but none were served. The salmon was minimal. A Chilean beef empanada would've been nice. Here are some future suggestions: https://www.chefspencil.com/25-most-popular-dishes-in-chile-with-photos/
Absolutely Phenomenal Riding Experience

5.00This horseback riding tour was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Cristóbal was an exceptional guide and a genuinely warm, personable host - knowledgeable not only about riding through the Andes but also deeply insightful when it came to Chilean history and culture. I truly enjoyed learning from him along the way, and his passion made the entire journey feel meaningful and immersive, not just scenic. The lunch prepared by the local huasos was absolutely incredible - so fresh, flavorful, and full of charm. It added a special, authentic touch that elevated the whole experience. Communication beforehand and the pickup process were seamless and stress-free, making everything easy from the start. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone staying in Santiago - it’s a must-do.
A fun ride, and educational! Do it!

5.00This was a truly unique experience! Will had a plethora of knowledge about the history of Chile. He was capable, attentive, and well-versed. He offered wonderful suggestions on shopping, activities, and food in Santiago. The ride was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! This is a wonderful way to see Chile and Santiago from a new perspective! Will's confidence and care in his work were evident, making our party feel at ease. If you have the opportunity to take part in this experience, we highly recommend it! Thank you so much!
A grand horseback riding experience through the hills of the Andes

5.00A 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.
Horseback riding by the sunset

5.00We went on the sunset horseback ride. It was a wonderful private guided tour. The view was spectacular and very worth it by sunset hour. The hosts were very kind and welcoming. They were also able to pick us up and drop us off at our residence. It was a very informative tour - we got to see some rare birds and a good amount of fauna. We spent about 3 hours horseback riding on the trail and the horses were amazing and very adorable. It was well worth the price.
Calm and Relaxing Horseback Riding in the Andes, great views

5.00As this is my first time visiting Santiago, I am more enthralled by the magnificent mountains that frame the city, so horseback riding on the Andes was a no-brainer. The ride took us through easy trails that gave us magnificent views of the city, and the timing of the ride (at sunset) was brilliant in terms of the light and the weather conditions. Grateful that Chile Off Track was able to squeeze me into a group as a sole traveler at short notice. Communication and logistics were excellent. Will was an excellent guide whose love of the land and country was evident. We were accompanied front and back (by another rancher), while hospitality was provided by Will's wife and sister in law. The wine and cheese picnic and light hearted conversation at the end was icing on the cake.
So much fun!

5.00Our 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!
