Join us on our 3 classic horseback ride tour through Santiago’s rugged Cordillera. You will be welcomed at the ranch by the Arrieros (local cowboys) and their dogs before we take off. Take in the stunning vistas and admire the abundant flora & fauna from horseback. We will cross rivers, scale mountains, have a short break along the river side or on a hill top, enjoy a small snack in the gorgeous surroundings and then savour a picnic lunch once back at the ranch. You will also have the chance to share an Argentinean herbal tea called “mate”.
We use the small but sturdy criollo horses who make anybody feel at ease. No previous experience is required. To make your trip more pleasant, we will lend you chaps and a helmet. Please wear long trousers, long sleeves in the summer for sun protection and closed shoes.
You will be picked up at 10.00 and returned by 16.00 max to your hotel (35 min drive from Providencia).
Booking a horseback riding tour with Chile Off Track generates a positive social impact as we contract the horses with local providers, with whom we have an established business relationship for years. Our tours contribute significantly in helping them to make their living!
