An absolutely wonderful experience. Since I was the only participant, the ride was fully tailored to my riding level, which made it feel very personal and comfortable. The surroundings were truly beautiful—perfect for unwinding and exploring the area on horseback. The guide was fantastic: very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about horses, which really added to the overall experience. To top it all off, the lunch was delicious and a lovely addition to the day.

Absolutely unforgettable...

Jasmine_K, Dec 2025

Absolutely unforgettable experience in epic landscape with the sweetest and very well cared for horses, delightful cave lunch (including vegetarian options) prepared by our darling guide Ignacio, and particularly delightful and fun river and stream crossings. Compared to a lot of El Calafate offerings, this experience was thrilling and didn't feel touristy at all. Would absolutely do again, many times, and recommend warmly!

Response from Host, Dec 2025

spectacular views on a horse

Toshu_K, Jan 2025

don't bring anything with you and prepare for a great adventure. I had a wonderful time riding the horse and seeing incredible views along the way. The guide was so nice and helpful. Lunch was amazing and in a great place. It provided a nice break in between rides. Definitely one of the best excursions

Lovely horse back experience

Pranita_N, Dec 2024

The experience was unlike any other horse riding experience I have had before. The trail was beautiful. The horses were sure footed and sturdy and well taken care of. They knew the trail well and very easy to ride, even for inexperienced riders. Diego, our guide was very knowledgeable about Argentina. He made us yummy steak sandwiches. The cheese cake offered for dessert was spectacular. I highly recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are glad to know that your experience was so special. We hope you visit us again soon for another adventure. Thanks for recommending us! 🤍✨

Best activity we did in Argentina!

Beatriz_G, Nov 2024

We spent 15 days in Argentina and did various activities - this was by far the best one! We are so glad we did this, we had the best time. The experience with the horses, the ranch itself and the incredible views, the attention of Joaquin and Diego, the lunch they prepared for us, honestly everything was amazing! I highly highly recommend this activity!

Great experience, great hosts.

Lori_S, Feb 2024

The guides were kind considerate and engaging. They were very knowledgeable of the flora and fauna. The horse riding was 3 hrs. We saw condors. After the ride they fed us a great meal of appetizers, ribeye steak sandwiches, vegetables. Drinks and dessert. The horses were good. Recommended experienced riders, the terrain can be tricky for someone not used to riding. In the spring the steppe is covered with blossoms.

Great day in El Calafate

David_J, Jan 2024

Great experience from pickup to dropoff. Diego and Victoria were the the perfect guides. They enjoy talking about their country and life in El Calafate. The lunch was served half way through the Horseback Riding. It was fantastic! This trip gave let us see a whole different view of El Calafate.

Great guides, great...

Eriberto_O, May 2023

It was a great horseback riding experience. The landscapes along the way was amazing. Our 2 guides were awesome and very patient especially this is my first time to do horseback riding. The lunch was good. It took us about 4 hours to finish the entire loop of Estancia 25 de Mayo. Highly recommended if you are traveling solo like me.
