I could not recommend enough this experience, the guide we had (Pehuen) was amazing, very knowledgeable and so nice. The pick up and drop off are very smooth, the ride to the ranch is nice, the horses are very easy going and steady even for people with absolutely no experience, the landscape is absolutely stunning. Everybody welcomes with open arms and the food and wine are delicious so I can only thank them all for this one in a lifetime experience that will definitely be the highlight of my argentinian experience as much for the wonder of nature as for the human experience.

Bad Horseback riding!

charles, Feb 2020
The horseback riding was very misleading. We rode through the pasture never reaching the Andes. Anyone could of rode in their own backyard. My girlfriend canceled and I wasn’t credited back anything. The food was amazing & the hospitality was incredible. I went to ride in the Andes.

Great day

Philipp_A, Feb 2020
I can highly recommend this tour. We had an awesome day in the Andes. We were picked up at the hotel early in the morning. We received a lot of information about Mendoza and the area around during the trip. The Guide spoke great english and was absolutely attentive. After reaching the ranch we got some information about the horses and how to ride. We rode for 3,5h trough the Andes and reached an height from 3000m. In the middle of the ride we've stoppt for a break and had a snack and wine plus we saw 7 condor. The BBQ after the ride was fantastic there was tons of meat, salad and vegetables and of course wine.

Merci for a once in a lifetime experience

A Perfect Day

EatPrayGreg, Nov 2019
I knew I wanted to do something special for my birthday and I figured this experience would be it. I was beyond right. Small group, wonderful guides, great and friendly horse, excellent lunch, and memories for a lifetime. Cannot recommend more highly. They even dropped me off at the restaurant where I was going to have my birthday dinner at the end of the day, a nicety they did not need to do. Book with confidence that you will have a great time.

Good Experience

Kaitlyn_B, Apr 2019
This tour was a lot of fun. The guides spoke excellent english, the horse back riding was really great, and the BBQ dinner was THE BEST.

This was an incredible tour...

KEVIN B, May 2015
This was an incredible tour - amazing views, great guides and fabulous food. This is definitely the tour to do if you are traveling to Mendoza.

This was pure and simply AWESOME...

Pamela, Nov 2014
This was pure and simply AWESOME! This is not recommended for a beginner rider or those who are afraid of heights. You go up the Andes a good 3000 feet and your horse is made to walk along the very edge!! Even in the most hot of days you will be at high elevation. You need to dress extremely warm!
