A Horseback Adventure in the Patagonian Wilderness

• Just like in the movies: horseback riding along the lake shore

It’s time to swing into the saddle of our horse and ride into the wilderness while admiring the beautiful Patagonian landscapes. Our expert guide will lead us through lush green forests and by pristine blue lakes while we’re surrounded by the snow-capped Andes mountain range.

Your Patagonian horseback riding kicks off when we head out on a 30 minute drive along the legendary Route 40. As Argentina’s longest road, it traverses 3,107 miles (5,000 kilometers) from the country’s northernmost city to its southernmost tip. Our destination is “Los Banqueanos” camping center, nestled in the heart of the Nahuel Huapi National Park at the foot of the eastern side of Cathedral Mount.

Our horseback ride lasts approximately two hours. We’ll be led by our “baqueano”, which means expert guide or scout, as we ride along the shores of Gutierrez Lake. From there we’ll ascend down the southern slope of the mountain to a viewpoint offering gorgeous views of the lake and surrounding mountains for some memorable photo opportunities!

Next we’ll head head back along the shores of Gutierrez Lake and return to “Los Baqueanos”, where we’ll be treated to a lunch at their restaurant by the lake.

Our Patagonian horseback riding experience comes to an end as we board our vehicle and return to our hotel.
