About this activity
Saddle up for a 6-hour Patagonian adventure combining a 2-hour guided horseback ride through steppe and Andean foothills with a traditional three-course asado lunch at a historic working ranch. This full-day excursion from Bariloche immerses you in wild landscapes, native wildlife, and authentic Argentine gaucho culture.
Journey into the Patagonian steppe and the foothills of the Argentine Andes on a pleasant 2-hour guided horseback ride. Along the way, admire a picturesque lake, transitional forests of cypress trees, and spot condors, black-necked swans, guanacos and deer.

Visit October to April (spring through early autumn) when Patagonian weather is most stable and daylight longest. Early morning rides offer cooler temperatures and better chances of spotting wildlife active before midday heat.
