We had such a great time on our horseback riding adventure in Mendoza. The ranch team took care of everything, including transportation to and from the activity, which was super efficient and really appreciated.
I’m a total novice when it comes to horseback riding, but by the end of the trip I felt confident thanks to the clear instructions on how to handle the horse. The ride itself was incredible, nearly two hours through the mountains with stunning views.
When we returned, we were welcomed with an authentic Argentine dinner that brought the whole group together. It honestly felt like we left with new friends by the end of the night.
Such a unique and unforgettable experience. I’d definitely recommend it!

We climbed quite a lot altitude-wise on horses and we had a good time, even though the group was quite large and even though I got an antisocial horse that started running every time there was a horse near it. There was a lot of meat (basically, all you could eat) and a lot of wine for dinner.

This gentle ride, with its lovely vistas and delicious asado, was a great way to spend an evening. Communication upfront was helpful and timely. Santiago, owner of the ranch, clearly explained riding how-to before our group of about a dozen people set out on our steady horses. (I appreciated learning that they’re rescue animals.) Our delightfully friendly and informative guide, Nacho, moved fluently and inclusively from Spanish to English. Fabio cooked up a plentiful dinner that all around the convivial table, including the Argentinian and Chilean experts, agreed was super-tasty. Highly recommended by both my husband and me.

Really high quality tour. We were picked up on time and taken to the ranch, where we were shown how to ride before heading out. The tour itself was a couple of hours. On return back to the ranch we were sat down to a delicious asado- the best meat we had during Argentina. Delicious wine and the hosts made an effort to facilitate conversation between the group and helped translate between languages. Overall an excellent evening and very accessible for those having never ridden before

Excellent experience - very accessible and also provides great views, a good way to spend an evening
Dustin_O, Oct 2025
This is a 10/10 experience. We would recommend this to everyone. Santiago and Leny were so welcoming, knowledgeable, and made us feel so comfortable. The views were breathtaking, the pony’s were lovely, and the after ride food was remarkable.
Gabriella_S, May 2025
The most amazing experience in Mendoza! Santiago and his team were incredible. There are no words to describe the sights you’ll see while trekking through the foothills of the Andes. 10/10 would recommend and will be doing it again my next time in Mendoza! The asado was the cherry on top!
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi Gabriel!
What a joy to read your message! It makes us incredibly proud to know you had such a special experience with us here in Mendoza. Santiago and the whole team are smiling from ear to ear.
And we’re so glad you enjoyed the asado! We always prepare it with a lot of love to end the day in the best possible way. We’ll be waiting for you with open arms next time you're in town — it’ll be a pleasure to hit the trail and share stories around the fire again!
Shania_M, May 2025
Exciting and adventurous 2 hour horseback ride round trip as you see the sunset! Very lovely place, great group, and I highly recommend trying the asado after. Great for anyone, even if you’ve never ridden a horse before, the guides are there with you and the group the whole time! We had a great time and loved the chance we had to socialize after with the group that came with us.
Response from Host, May 2025
Shania thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the sunset ride, it’s such a special time of day in the Andes, and sharing it with a great group makes it even better.
We’re happy to know you felt supported throughout the ride.
We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another adventure!

Very good gaucho guide. They give you a horse that fits you, go with a basic training and takes you to small hills which are part of the huge private rancho. Once you go to the top and see city with night lights then you go back down as it gets dark and eat tons of sausages and beef.
Response from Host, May 2025
Hi Micha!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the ride with our gaucho guide.
The sunset views over the city and the ride through the hills are truly special moments.
We love giving our pasangers a taste of authentic local life.
Hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

This was a highlight of our trip!! What an amazing experience. Our pickup was easy and our guide spoke great English and was really lovely.
The horses were incredible. So calm and friendly. Each of the horses have names and distinct personalities (Juanaco was my favourite but I might be biased!). The trek was amazing, we saw fantastic views of Mendoza. The guides walk you through everything, so this is good for all levels of horse rider.
After getting back dinner was unreal, traditional Argentinian BBQ with plenty of local wine. Chatting with the other guests over dinner was a nice touch.
Would do this again in an instant. 10/10.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Sophie!! Thank you so much for such an lovely review! We're so happy to hear this was a highlight of your trip. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the horses (we’ll make sure Juanaco gets some extra love!), the views, and of course, the asado and local wine.
Our team puts a lot of heart into creating a welcoming and memorable experience, so your words truly mean a lot.
Best regards!!

If in Mendoza this is a must. I’ve never ridden a horse before but Santiago was a brilliant guide and instructor and I loved the whole experience. The weather wasn’t on our side but it was still an incredible experience with lighting flashing in the distance and the sun peaking through the clouds.
The food was incredible, Nico served us different variety of pork to start and then beef for main with vegetables. The beef was probably the best tasting I’ve ever had, amazing!
Santiago was brilliant throughout and made the experience.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
What a joy to read this! We love knowing that you had an amazing experience despite the weather. Santiago is a total genius, and we’re so happy that he made your first horseback ride unforgettable.
And what can we say about the food… Nothing like a good Mendoza barbecue to complete the day!
Thank you for sharing your experience, we hope to see you again for more adventures in Mendoza. Big hug! 💛🐎

Such a great experience! My friend and I had little to no experience riding horses and the estancia owners were with us every step of the way. Truly a great experience with a great asado at the end!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Hi Katherine!
We're so happy to hear that you had a great experience! Our team loves making sure everyone feels comfortable, no matter their riding experience. And ending the day with a delicious asado is always a plus!

Daniel_C, Feb 2025
What a fantastic tour. I specifically flew to Mendoza just to do this tour and it was incredible. The views from start to finish on the horse riding were great. The owner of the estancia was súper friendly and welcoming. The asado also exceeded expectations. If you have to do one tour in mendoza this should be it.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you, Daniel!
It’s amazing to know that your visit to Mendoza was all about this experience. The landscapes, the warm hospitality at the ranch, and the asado are all part of what makes this tour so special.
We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again here :)

To start with the horses are well taken care of by Santiago and his staff. Instructions on how to ride your horse are provided to all so the activity is accessible to everyone no matter what level of horseback riding you have. Don’t bother bringing sun hats - you will ride with a helmet they provide. And if possible bring no bags or leave them at the ranch. Our guide Francisco (aka Fran) was calm informative and fun and while we rode peacefully, he took pictures of everyone! By the next day we received all his pictures which were great. When we returned to the ranch a lovely dinner was prepared by Santiago and his team and served outside around a big table. The views of the sunset, mountains, valleys were great: we felt at one with nature and extremely peaceful on the ride. The highlights of our trip to Mendoza province.

Lenny and Santiago make an excellent team for this excursion. Both were absolutely fantastic! They were both patient with those of us who were horseback riding for the first time. And gave very clear instructions on how to direct our horses. I cannot say enough good things about them and this unforgettable excursion. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mendoza. We took a very scenic route, ascending and descending in the mountains and insured a beautiful sunset over the Andes. Finally, the evening ended with a very enjoyable Argentinian style barbecue. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone planning to visit Mendoza.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Hello Walter! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! 😊
We’re so glad you had a fantastic time with Lenny and Santiago. They really do make a great team! The scenic route, the sunset over the Andes, and the asado all came together for an unforgettable day, and we’re thrilled that it made such a great impression on you.
Your recommendation means a lot, and we can’t wait to have you back for another adventure!
Until next time!

From beginning to end this was a great experience. Organised and professional, everything was well detailed and explained.
Our hosts were fantastic - especially Francisco who accompanied us on the ride. There were 9 in our group and Fran did a brilliant job speaking both English and Spanish.
It’s a nice length ride for those who aren’t regular riders, spectacular views and the meal at the end was a delicious treat!
Highly recommend - I and my young adult children all loved it!

Great experience! First I was worrying about the tour, as I've done horseriding only once before - but everything went smoothly and easily! Great staff, and well trained horses, I felt very safe and comfortable. Delicious dinner at the end

This was by far our favourite activity during our stay in Mendoza. We felt very well looked after by Fran & Santiago and team. The horses were well cared for and expertly paired with their riders. We felt very safe despite having very little riding experience. The roast and wine were great too! Thank you🙏

We had a wonderful experience, Leni and his colleagues are fantastic, they give clear instructions are attentive and patient with each member of the activity. My wife was an absolute beginner and a little scared at the beginning but they paired her with the right horse (Freddie) and she was very soon at ease and very happy.
The timing of the ride was perfect we saw a beautiful sunset and the food and wine at the end was great, they catered for us vegetarians with no problem at all .
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Steven, thanks so much for sharing!
We’re so happy to hear you had a great time and that Leni and the team made you feel at home.
Catching the sunset out there is always special, and I'm glad you enjoyed the food and wine – we’re happy to take care of everyone!
Hope to see you back in Mendoza for more adventures!
Brock_G, Oct 2024
This was exactly what we were looking for. We're in our 40's, haven't really ridden horses before, and are in pretty decent shape.
The horses were nice, well take care of, and easy to learn to ride. The guide was great.
About a 2 hour ride in a just beautiful landscape. Such relaxing views.
Then the Asado was really fun, felt like we earned it after the ride. We made new friends for the night.
So glad we did this, would take this ride again in a heartbeat.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
