Great Trip

Justin_T, Feb 2025

Spectacular, Jose and Leo were great. The horses were well trained, but not barn sour. The terrain was spectacular and exciting enough for a seasoned rider while the horses made it enjoyable even for the beginner rider. The food was also spectacular.

Canceled my booking

Luke_A, Dec 2024

I reached out to the operator to confirm my dates would work before booking 2 months in advance. About a week before my trip the operator asked if I could change the dates. I was unfortunately not able to and then a day or two before my booking it was canceled by the operator. I received a refund no problem, but was disappointed as this trip was the reason I booked tickets to Mendoza from Buenos Aires. Operator did suggest another contact I could reach out to in order to book a different horseback riding experience, but I sought out another company on my own. I did pass by Rancho el Rosario during my trip and it looked beautiful.

Surpassed Expectations

Sheldon_F, Feb 2024

We booked this tour hoping for a not-super-touristy, authentic experience and it was even better than we could’ve imagined. We were guided by the owner or the ranch himself, who shared his passion for the land and his family’s history. We were also lucky to be joined by his young son who was a fantastic guide, teacher of all things horses, and a great laugh. We were spoiled with the food, including fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast, wine chilled in the creek at every meal, and an incredible asado the last night. Jose works very hard to ensure a great experience and tailored the trip to what we were looking for, we got many hours of riding in incredible scenery. Even Claudia, the woman who drove us from Mendoza and back, was incredibly friendly and helpful.

Go for it!

Jose, his family and community are a group of kind, caring and passionate individuals and you can go on this expedition without a single doubt. I had questions beforehand, and Jose, even though the signal is very low in the ranch, was fast, responsive and reassuring. Indeed, there is not much information about the journey, but it is because the final expedition is decided according to your riding experience and expectations. During the trip, you feel like you are in first class even though you are in the middle of nature and the Andes. Fresh orange juices, scrambled eggs over the fire after a night under the stars, what else is there to say ? Thank you so much to Jose, Esteban and their family for this amazing experience. If I’m back, I will 100% call you and organize something longer than three days, it’s only the beginning :)

The most incredible experience!

Jessica_C, Oct 2022

This was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Daniel (my guide) and I horse trekked for 3 days and two nights. We cooked all meals over a campfire, slept under the stars, saw a flock of wild Limas, drunk cleaned and washed from the mountain streams, climbed to the top of mountains where there were the most beautiful views of the snow capped mountains behind us, galloped in Pampas grass and dined at a typical Estancion on the way back. Daniel was the most professional, kindest and competent guide and as a solo female I felt extremely comfortable with him. He was also a fantastic Gaucho and really took care of the horses as well. It was fantastic and I would highly recommend it!
