Across uruguay This is a new five day adventure ride starting at the Estancia Aguila Blanca surrounded by the beautiful hills and ravines of the Lavalleja region in charming rural Uruguay, and ending at the Medellin Polo Club of Punta del Este.
Atacama desert A riding expedition in the Atacama Desert of Chile where the breathtaking vistas extend to the far horizon, itself ringed with high Andean peaks on the one side and the vast empty desert void on the other. We ride on excellent horses that are ridden in the distinctive Chilean style that you will be introduced to by our riding guide Bernardo on the first day.
Austral expedition A spectacular ride that takes us through the remotest valleys in the far south of Patagonia. Starting out in Chile we encounter for the first time the impressive peaks of the southern ice-fields and the crystal clear turquoise waters of the great rivers and lakes that make this area of the world scenically stunning.
Chile - Argentina - Riding expedition - 15 Days - Level A
Ecuador cotopaxi adventure A complete circuit around the highest active volcano in the world. Riding in the stunning andean highlands in the heart of 'condor country'. Varied riding across arid plains, rolling hills, lava flows & wetlands.
Explore tierra del fuego Combine exploration on horseback of the wide valleys, lakes and immense forests in the interior of the island with comfortable accommodation and good meals at Boqueron, a remote puesto/cabin belonging to the Menendez family. We have an english speaking guest manager, a local cook and gaucho to attend to all your needs - including a laundry service! The main house has been refurbished to accommodate up to 6 guests at any one time with two bathrooms, that at all times have hot water for showers - very welcome at the end of a days riding in the surrounding area.
Gaucho trail Live the life of the traditional gaucho for a few days in the most historic province of Argentina. Ride from estancia to estancia and stay in luxury in the style of the landed aristocracy. Not a stone is to be found on the ground here - it is pure sand and the terrain is ideal for fast canters.
Grand canyon expedition This is an expeditionary ride through the valleys and dramatic canyons surrounding a Unesco World Heritage Site in Southern Patagonia. A location reminiscent of Monument Valley in Arizona, writ larger and wilder, barren steppe surrounds the jagged walls of the sheer canyons gouged out to a depth of 500m by the erosion of millennia across the remotest Patagonian landscape where we follow the winding course of the Pinturas river.
Kilimanjaro An exciting and beautiful 7 day bush ride covering some 200 km aimed at intermediate to experienced riders accustomed to riding English. Passing through Masailand at the very base of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the area has some of East Africa's most spectacular scenery, surrounded by 5895m high Kilimanjaro to the east, 4660m high Meru to the South, the rugged but beautiful Longido to the North and the Rift Valley volcanoes, Kitumbeine and Gelai to the west.
Paso peru Over a century ago, a visitor to South America wrote: "Horseback riding is a vigorous form of exercise except in Peru, where breeders have managed a triumph over nature. They have created a horse which moves by means of a very smooth amble. These horses are greatly sought-after, for to ride one is much the same as being seated in a chair."
Patagonia wilderness This is a fast and entertaining 8 day long riding safari in the wilderness of the Patagonian interior that is combined with a ride along the beaches and over the dunes of the Atlantic coast. You ride on two different properties belonging to one of the most hospitable Anglo-argentine families in the country. The two groups of horses that you ride during the trip are the best you can find on any private property in Argentina, while the ground is ideal for riding - sandy without holes or stones.
Rift valley A short ride into the surrounding plains that is ideal for an extended week-end or for those travellers with restricted time available. Even for the few days involved you get to experience the feel of an active horse safari across unfenced wilderness and the evening atmosphere of our camps.
Rio puelo Close to the Pumalin Park there is a green verdant valley where the crystal clear Puelo river makes its way to the Pacific Ocean from the high peaks of the Andes. Along the way it enters and leaves some beautiful lakes, on one of which we get to stay on a private island for two nights. This is a ride of great scenic beauty that will appeal to all riders from novices to experienced horsemen.
Southern cross expedition The distant lands of the far South-western corner of argentine Patagonia is a refuge to some of the most authentic gauchos still around. This is a ride where you get closely involved with this culture and its relationship to the criollo horse. Your guides into the wild baguales mountain range, which is virtually unknown to travellers, are some very colourful characters with great experience of traversing this region on horseback and full of interesting anecdotes about times and events past and present.
Ultimate tierra del fuego In my opinion the world`s best riding expedition! No kidding! This is an exciting riding adventure to the uttermost tip of Tierra del Fuego, the jewel of Patagonia, that should appeal to those of you looking for extreme and genuine adventure. In my opinion this is the best location in the world for exploration on horseback, with an unmatched sense of freedom from civilization.
Volcano ride A truly spectacular ride along the shores of the magically beautiful All Saints lake in the Vicente Perez Rosales national park that lies in the shadow of the conical Osorno volcano, emblematic of the picturesque chilean lake district.
