Our horseback riding experience goes beyond a typical ride. This private experience is designed to be relaxed, safe, and accessible, with calm, well-trained horses suitable for all experience levels.

We work with a local family of arrieros who have over 35 years of experience caring for horses in the Andes. Each horse is known individually, receives regular veterinary care, and participates in only one ride per day, allowing proper rest and recovery.

Ride through the foothills of the Andes with local guides who share their knowledge of the land, the animals, and rural Chilean life.

We focus on creating a personal and welcoming atmosphere, where many travelers feel it’s less like a tour and more like spending time outdoors with people who genuinely enjoy what they do.

The experience finishes with a scenic picnic in nature, offering a moment to relax, connect, and enjoy the landscape at a slower pace.

What to expect

Escape the city for a horseback riding experience in the foothills of the Andes, just 30 minutes from Santiago.

After hotel pickup, we drive to a private ranch where your horse will be ready. Before starting, you’ll receive a short introduction to ensure you feel comfortable, no prior experience is required.

We then ride for about two hours along quiet mountain trails, surrounded by native vegetation, open landscapes, and wide views of the Andes. The pace is relaxed and adapted to your level, making this experience suitable for beginners as well as more experienced riders.

Along the way, you’ll experience the calm rhythm of horseback travel and get a glimpse into rural Chilean life, where horses, dogs, and the land are part of everyday life.

At the end of the ride, we share a relaxed picnic with Chilean wine, one of the most memorable moments of the day.

This experience is designed to be personal, safe, and easy to enjoy, ideal for travelers looking to connect with nature in an authentic way.

*For the group tour, we require a minimum of 3 guests. If we don’t reach this minimum, we’ll contact you in advance to reschedule, choose a different tour, or arrange a full refund.
