Horseback riding in wild patagonia
5 days / 4 nights

Over a century ago, Patagonia became home to a new settler who, over time, developed his own unique culture: the gaucho. A free, solitary yet friendly character, he awakes before dawn to drive his cattle across the pampa, the wide open grasslands of this far flung corner of the world.

Horses have traditionally been used by the gauchos, who are expert horsemen, to cover the vast Patagonian pampa to communicate with one another and to go about their daily work on their ranches.

Our explora Patagonia horseback riding program (5 days / 4 nights) lets you live the gaucho lifestyle and discover one of the world’s most pristine and wild landscapes: the Torres del Paine National Park, declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1978.

Topics covered

Our horseback rides are designed for experienced riders who feel confident handling a horse in open spaces and a variety of situations. You should be proficient in walking, trotting and galloping on horseback for a minimum of three hours.

If you are travelling with a partner or your family, other members of your group can choose from a range of activities (treks or easy horserides). Our guides at the lodge are available every day to help you choose suitable alternatives. Similarly, if you wish to do a different activity during one of the mornings or afternoons, you can sign up for one of our other explorations.
