About this experience
We will pick you up at your hotel to leave the city of Bariloche and go to the Estancia where the Los Baqueanos horseback ride takes place.
After receiving a brief briefing, we will mount the horses we will use for the ride and begin this journey through the Patagonian steppe, which offers the possibility of riding through fords and streams of greater flow.
In addition, we will observe and identify the typical flora and fauna of the place we will cross, from deer, if we are lucky, and some condors that usually fly over the place.
Afterwards, we will return to the starting point to enjoy a traditional lunch. At the end of lunch, you can finish with a coffee or tea! Finally, we will return to downtown Bariloche, where our activity ends.
