Highlights
This is not just a horseback ride followed by lunch. It’s a full day immersed in mountain life at a family-run ranch in the Andes. You’ll ride natural mountain trails with local horsemen, cross clear creeks, and stop in the mountains for a traditional Argentine asado cooked over an open fire. What makes the experience special is its small, personal setting. You’ll spend the day with Daniel’s family and local team, sharing food, stories, horses, and traditions in the place where they are part of everyday life. Rather than a staged gaucho show or a large tourist ranch, this is a rustic and genuine experience designed to bring you closer to the people, landscapes, and culture of the Argentine Andes.

About Mendoza
Mendoza is a wine city of tree-lined avenues and irrigation channels on a dry plain, with the high Andes rising to the west.
Mendoza was largely rebuilt after the earthquake of 1861, which is why its streets are wide and its squares open. Plane trees shade the pavements, watered by old irrigation channels called acequias. Plaza Independencia sits at the centre with four smaller squares around it, and the great Parque General San Martín climbs to the Cerro de la Gloria, a monument with a view over the city.
Top-ranked sights in Mendoza: Puente del Inca (Inca Bridge), Uspallata, Aconcagua Provincial Park.
