We had a great time with Josefina and Tomás! The views were amazing, and the horses were very nice to ride on as beginners. We learned a lot about the region and enjoyed the trails. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Santiago.

Qué alegría leer esto! Nos encanta que hayan disfrutado las vistas, los caballos tranquilos, y ese picnic al final. Nuestro objetivo es siempre crear momentos hermosos en la naturaleza. ¡Gracias por elegir Ecordua! 🐴
We loved our experience! One our highlights of our trip. Josephina was great from start to finish and the horse owner Tomas was wonderful. Hotel pick up and drop off was smooth. It had just rained so they made sure to bring us on the safest route. We got to see amazing views, wildlife and of course the gentle, beautiful horses. 10/10 would recommend booking!

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much, this really means a lot. I’m happy you connected with the horses and saw that quieter side of Santiago. That’s exactly what I love sharing.
This is a must do in Santiago - beautiful ride, well taken care of and trained horses,
knowledgeable guide. Joaquin made this experience truly special, and as someone who is in Chile for the first time I’ve learned a lot on the way to the activity also. Great for all the levels.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thanks so much for your words, it really means a lot. I’m glad you felt comfortable with the horses and got something meaningful out of the experience beyond just the ride. That’s exactly what I try to share here. Hope the rest of your time in Chile is just as special!
Awesome time! Quick trip to the mountains/horse ranch. The guides and the horses were amazing and had a lovely ride with beautiful vistas. Finished the ride with wine and charcuterie. The group is small, the travel time is minimal and the experience was unforgettable- definitely book this!!

Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much! 🙌
So happy you enjoyed it, we always say you don’t need to be a rider to fall in love with the experience. Glad the horses, scenery and the cheese & wine picnic made it special for you. Hope to see you again!
We absolutely loved this excursion! From start to finish, it was an incredible experience and worth every penny.
I had never been on a horse in my entire life, so I was honestly a little nervous at first. But Paloma and Victor were simply amazing. They were patient, attentive, and so encouraging. They took the time to make sure I felt safe and comfortable, explaining everything clearly and guiding us every step of the way. By the end of the ride, I felt completely at ease — and even ready to ride again!
The scenery in the Andes was breathtaking, and the entire experience felt authentic and peaceful. To top it all off, we enjoyed a lovely picnic with delicious cheese and wine — the perfect ending to a beautiful adventure.
I truly cannot thank Paloma and Victor enough for making this such a memorable day. If you’re considering this excursion, don’t hesitate — highly, highly recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Wow! thank you for such beautiful words. 🙏
It makes me really happy to hear how safe and comfortable you felt, especially on your first time riding. Paloma and Víctor will be so glad to read this. That’s exactly the experience we want every guest to have.
You’re always welcome back for round two in the Andes!
Excellent adventure. Calm horses, great views of the Santiago Valley. Treated us like family with hotel to stable service. Matias was great!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much!
So glad you felt taken care of, we really do try to treat everyone like family. I’ll pass your message to Matías, he’ll be very happy to hear this.
Hope to see you again in Chile!
Organized on time, great communication prior to, and excellent historic, geographical and some political information. Matias the guide and the Chilean cowboy Tomas:A1. Food and presentation was real! Engaging and enthusiastic time was had by all six guests. Would most highly recommend to anyone that wants more than a snapshot of a large city as a Chilean experience.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review.
I’m really glad you enjoyed the full experience, not just the scenery, but the history, culture and deeper context of Chile. That’s exactly what we aim to share. I’ll make sure Matías and Tomás see your message, they’ll be proud!
Hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon.

Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed the scenery, the horses, and your time with Frank.
It was an incredible ride with Paloma & Tomás with well taken care of horses and breathtaking landscape. The refreshments after were tasty with great conversation. The trail was varied geography NOT a boring single file straight path. Our driver Phillip was great. All around a job well done leaving a memorable experience with my grandkids in Chile. Recommend it!

Really fun day and beautiful scenery. Great experience and it was nice to just have a half day rather than many of the trips which are a full day. We were able to see some of the peaks of the Andes mountains.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad the half-day format worked well for you and that the scenery delivered. Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Thank you so much! 🌿 We’re thrilled you loved the tour and that Paloma made it such a fun and memorable experience. Hope to see you again for another adventure soon! 💚🐎
We had the best time ever, whilst horse riding in the foothills of the Andes:
Joaquin was the perfect host, providing great information about the area ad well as being an expert horseman.
No worries whatsoever that we didn’t have any horse riding experience.
Would do the same or a similar trip in a heart beat
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much! 🐎 I’m really happy you enjoyed the ride and the Andes experience — hope to share another adventure with you soon! 🌄
Wonderful experience, hosts were very accomidating, and very easy to chat to. The view and the horses were also beautiful.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thanks a lot, Michael! We’re really glad you enjoyed the ride and the views — and yes, the horses are amazing company too. Was great having you with us, hope we get to share another adventure in the Andes sometime!
Great experience seeing the foothills of Santiago via horseback.
Therese and Macarena were amazing hosts and highly recommend them!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the horseback ride and the views of Santiago’s foothills. Therese and Macarena will be happy to hear your kind words—hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
This experience was truly one for the books! Our group embarked on a two-hour horseback ride through the breathtaking Andes mountains, guided by the incredible Gustavo. The scenery was absolutely stunning—vast mountain landscapes, fresh air, and even some wildlife sightings, including condors and hawks soaring above us.
One of the unexpected highlights of the trip? Max, the company’s friendly Australian Shepherd, who trotted alongside us the entire way, making sure we had a loyal companion on the trail.
The company did a fantastic job ensuring our safety and comfort, providing helmets and thorough instruction so that even beginners felt confident. And while most of us had a smooth start, our most experienced rider, Hillary, had a bit of an unexpected adventure before we even hit the trail. Her horse got a little spooked by a simple step crate, and before we knew it—down she went! Luckily, she walked away with just a few bumps and bruises and was back in the saddle in no time.
After the ride, we were treated to a delicious spread of Chilean wine (with French origins), along with crackers, prosciutto, goat cheese, and milk cheese—a perfect way to end the adventure.
The owner of the company, originally from New York, is incredibly passionate about horses and sharing this experience with others, which truly made the tour feel special. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to experience the Andes, this horseback riding tour is a must!
Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting the area.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Wow—thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review! It means a lot to hear how much you enjoyed the experience, from the stunning Andes views to the wildlife sightings (and of course, Max keeping everyone company!). Big thanks to Gustavo for leading the way, and hats off to Hillary for getting back in the saddle like a champ. We’re so glad the whole group felt safe, well taken care of, and left with great memories—and a proper post-ride treat! Hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable moments in the mountains.
This was such a fun experience. Although a bit pricey, every minute was worth it😊. Josefina was such a great guide and was super sweet. This is definitely a must for anyone who wants great views and a little adventure in the mountains.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the adventure, the views, and of course, the cheese, wine, and Max! It was a pleasure exploring with you—hope to see you again for more nature and good times! 🌿🍷😊
We had the loveliest of horseback rides with our guides Josephina and Orlando. They were warm, friendly, knowledgeable and funny too! We got to see nature at its best including some fun with our guide dog Max. The day was perfect and ended with some great wine and a platter of fruit and cheese at the barns with the horses and our new friends. Could not recommend them enough!
Response from Host, Feb 2025

Ending the day with great wine, delicious treats, and good company is exactly how we love to do it! 🍷🧀
We appreciate your kind words and your recommendation—it means the world to us. We hope to ride with you again soon for another unforgettable adventure! 🏇✨
Warm regards,
This was a great activity to while in Santiago and to get out of the city into the mountains. I went with my mum and we only had two other with us which was great. Our guide Josifina was so lovely and picked us up from our hotel. The horse riding felt safe and really organised with calm well looked after horses. We had the picnic (cheese and wine) after the ride which was great! And it was really nice to chat with everyone and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and the horse sheds
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thanks so much for your review! We’re glad you and your mum had a great time riding with us. Joséfina is awesome, and we love hearing that you felt safe and enjoyed the well-cared-for horses. The picnic and mountain views are always a great way to wrap up the ride! Hope to see you again for another adventure! 🐎⛰️🍷
