5.00Myself and my husband completed the 2 day Andes ride with Lucas & Daniel. Joaquín assisted with our booking and made it all so easy to arrange. This was a truely breathtaking experiance. We started as a larger group and head up for a few hours to an asado point and had a wonderful lunch. I am vegetarian and they made sure to have appropriate food for me. After lunch we continued on just the two of us and Lucas whilst the others headed back. Our camp area was great, the views were amazing. We saw the milky way whilst the horses grazed on the hills around. We hired a tent and sleeping bags which were in great condition and kept us warm in the freezing weather (we woke up to ice on our tent!). After a lovely breakfast we started the days ride. This was much more intensive as we climbed to 4000m across a river gorge and up the peak. The terrain was both rocky, loose in places and very steep. You really have to trust the amazing horses to pick their footing. At times we were on an edge whilst nervy was an amazing experience. At the peak we had climbed above the clouds and got treated to incredible views. Untouched and full of nature we saw different animals, including Daniels other horses who were grazing. I have over 15 years riding experiance and my husband has only ridden once before and it was certainly challenging for him but once he trusted his horse and could steer more, he found it easier. This ride isn't for those scared of heights but is really a once in a lifetime! Once back at the Ranch we got invited into daniels home and treated to empandas whilst we warmed up before heading back to our apartment. Lucas and Daniel were both friendly and welcoming. The horses are treated well which was very important to me. I hope to come back one day to ride to the lagoon! Thank you Lucas
indescribable experience.
