Fabulous setting, wonderfully friendly and helpful gauchos, spectacular BBQ and the host Nico is very good at explaining and making sure safety comes first.

We took our family of 5 on a 1/2 day tour + lunch and had a great time. The horses were pretty mellow, the scenery at the ranch was beautiful, and the lunch and snacks were tasty and authentic. Strongly recommend this outing.!

Very good time! The staff is very nice. The food was delicious. Best steak and chorizo we have had in Argentina.
Lily_H, Feb 2025
For a novice rider, the ranchers/guides gave simple and easy to follow instructions. They paired the horses with each individual by their experience, size and weight. The horse is so tame and gentle at the same time. I was relaxed during my first horseback riding session to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. The Patagonia steppe was breathtaking and the 2hrs ride passed before we realized it’s over.
Then it came the enormous amount of food for lunch. The meat was perfectly grilled and the wine was delirious.
I walked away with tremendous appreciation for the beautiful natural landscape and the well cared for animals as they get to roam free after a job well done.

Lovely ride with beautiful scenery on very quiet horses. Beautiful ranch setting. Relaxing atmosphere.

We had a lovely time on the horseback riding tour just outside of Bariloche! The slow trail ride was a relaxing way to take in the beautiful scenery, and it was followed by a delicious asado that made the experience even more enjoyable. The 45-minute drive from Bariloche was well worth it, and the entire team was incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure we felt comfortable throughout the day. It’s a great outing for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty of the area at a laid-back pace!

Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful horses, super staff, and a fabulous meal at the end. This was really a great day.
Everything was well organized. The ride was great for new or experienced riders. The hosts made sure all riders were comfortable throughout the ride. Horses were well cared for and beautiful. Again, just an amazing day. So worth it!

One of the best tours I’ve ever taken. Very helpful, friendly and competent guides…both on the ground and the horseback guides. Handled a group of 24, all ages, all experience levels.
Food and wine were excellent. The group interacted well. Great time!

If you enjoy horseback riding, asado, and wine, this is the trip for you! Everything about the day was perfect if you were looking for a morning to early afternoon activity in Bariloche
Yiftah_N, Mar 2024
This was really great, guides and staff were awesome, horses were beautiful and incredibly tame (not a rider, but they were so sweet and calm I felt like a cowboy) and the food&wine were out of this world!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sounds like an amazing experience! Glad you enjoyed the stunning views, safe riding, friendly guides, and delicious food. Thanks for sharing your review!
Jeffrey_K, Jan 2024
Everyone were inexperienced riders, but managed to enjoy the nearly 2hr ride herded along by two gauchos. Beautiful countryside! The asado was delicious and fun, fueled by steak and wine the diverse group managed to come together to sing a rousing Happy Birthday to a young Chilean participant.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

The ride was really fun and the guides were nice. The landscape is amazing. We enjoyed the talk about the local fauna ahead of the ride and my parents enjoyed learning about mate. The asado was delicious.

This was such an incredible excursion. If you’re contemplating booking this, just do it! The guides and hosts were all so incredible. The place itself was absolutely magical. The horses were all so sweet and calm. It was an amazing way to see the mountains and the landscape, paired with some delicious breakfast and authentic asado.

The best part was my horse Nina she was a paint
She was a perfect horse. The whole experience of riding and meeting new people is so wonderful. Food was delicious all you could eat lots of virility of drinks.
We learned about Red Deer in the Mountains.

Lovely views in the Patagonian Steps whilst riding with the Gauchos. Good 2 hour ride . Provide with pastries and hot drinks on arrival and a fabulous lunch. The lunch was barbecued meat salad , bread and wine plus s Dulce dr me he pancake .
I have one comment no one spoke English therefore for an hour I listened to a talk on deer which I had no understanding of . My friend speaks some Spanish but this tested her knowledge. Other South Americans on our table did also help . Even if it was in a leaflet it would help . Also having been told what was said it didn’t seem of relevance to the riding . I would rather hear the history of the Gaucho and ranch .
The lack of English speaking may affect other participants who do not understand Spanish as this part is pointless.
Also there were quite a lot of us so we felt they could have seperated the groups into smaller ones so that you could chat and be given information about the area.
Mark_K, Feb 2022
We had a great trip with many first time riders…everyone had a great time. The food was fantastic! A great way to spend an afternoon exploring the estancia! Gauchos were great!
Elizabeth_M, Mar 2020

I loved this horseback riding tour! It was so much fun and the scenery is amazing! Also the BBQ afterwards was so delicious. I definitely recommend and would absolutely do it again!

Simple booking process, pick up at hotel and easy 45 min drive from Bariloche in Minivan which is good opportunity to meet and talk to some other tourists, welcoming and informative host, circa 2 hours in the saddle in beautiful landscape and a good meal to conclude. Nothing rushed, all very chilled and casual, ride to your experience (we were novices so followed the pack) and a great fun 6 hours overall.
Claude U, Feb 2017
Everything was fantastic, The horse ride was fun, through beautiful countryside. The gauchos/guides were very helpful especially as we were beginners on horseback. The asado lunch with great wine, was delicious. Our host was very charming and informative, and our fellow caballeros were a lovely bunch. Just a perfect day for all of us.

Te reciben con unas torta fritas de la hostia.. muy cálido y muy amables todos. Una excursión que se caracteriza por cómo cuidan y aman a sus caballos. La experiencia divina. Los guías muy copados y el asado de Nico riquisimo! Todo de calidad. Muy recomendable si te gustan las montañas y los caballos tenes que ir.
