About this experience

It will be 2 hours on horseback: you will see the sunset in the background, surrounded by large valleys, streams and springs of water.

In the middle of the ride, we will invite you to taste appetizers with homemade bread, cheese and salami from the Post, accompanied by wine from Mendoza.

When you arrive at the post, you will have to get ready to ride. The animals are very tame, and we will guide you at all times.

You will be able to experience the traditional customs of a mountain family: in addition to incredible photographs, you will take home an experience of regional culture.
