Horseback ride - Driving to and from the ranch was a bit long but once there…a very good experience! The ride through the Andes, by horseback, was fantastic. The horses are very well trained and the saddles comfortable. Then we were treated to an excellent dinner. 10 people in all, and everyone was very nice.

A great experience! - I was picked up at the hotel. Then it was over stick and stone to the starting point. You got really shaken up on the ride. The journey took about 45 minutes. On site we met friendly people. After a brief briefing we started. The horses responded to the smallest whistles of the gauchos. Sometimes we rode slowly and sometimes on the trot. When trotting, the man should lift his butt a bit, otherwise his body will constantly hit the saddle. And that's not funny. I can report painful experiences as a Beginner. 😄 We had to bend forward on inclines, lean backward on the incline. Madness! In the evening was delicious barbecue. Those who wanted also got delicious wine to drink. If there's anything to complain about, it might be the condition of the horses. You were pretty thin. But I cannot say why that was the case. But all in all a really great trip. Thank you so much!

Great way to get out of the city and see the mountains - Wow, what a great trip and the views are spectacular from the mountain. The food at the end was really quite good, complete with wine and dessert. Definite must! The guides are very experienced and the horses are well trained for the terrain. A few key callouts though. 1) It’s a long day. About 7 hours from start to finish with the long ride from central Mendoza. Part of the ride to the finca is down a very rocky road. The horseride itself is about 3 hours, up and down the mountain. 2) We heeded to the instructions and brought hats and gloves, even though the temperature was about 70 at the beginning. On the way down, as the sun was setting it got really cold. 3) There are two trails, one through the mountains and another flatter ride. But only the mountain trail has the views. We rode with a 10-year who had never ridden a horse but he did great.

Most AMAZING & authentic experience with a lovely family! - I now understand why this experience has so many amazing reviews. It was the highlight of our trip in Mendoza! The family that runs the evening are the sweetest and kindest people that treat everything with care and attention. Not only do you get magical experience of riding through the untouched Andes but you also get an amazing feast at the end. My vegan food requirements were also accommodated for with a delicious roasted stuffed squash. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to end our trip in Mendoza.

See above - Unexpected wonderful experience. The travelling with the horses brought us great viewings from the top of the mountain we could see Mendoza. The hostess was very enthusiastic and friendly and provided us with a lovely BBQ and delicious wine.
