Horse riding
tours are available in half day packages or several days trekking
over the Patagonian mountain range. On such tours you can expect
to see condors (Lions of the Andes), Lamas (Guanacos) and Ostridge's
(Choique). |

For
lunch you will be able to try the world famous Argentinean 'Asado'.
This is meat cooked over an open flame that gives a very natural taste.
Along the way you will have the opportunity to try maté, the
traditional herbal infusion which is served in a type of curd with
a metal straw, usually with homemade bread or cakes.
For several day horse trips no previous experience is required. During these trips, we ride for up to 6 to 8 hours per day sleeping in various places like mountain huts, small farms, estancias and sometimes in tents. |

hat
better way is there to be on horseback with a very comfortable saddle
covered with thick sheepskin and surrounded by natural beauty? The
traditional men of Argentina (gauchos) spend a large part of the
day on their horses and without a good saddle; they would never
be able to fulfil their tasks.
