Once in a Lifetime experience - Amazing experience. I have done dozens of horse back treks from swiming on horseback in Jamaica to riding in the hollywood hills but this ride rates as my top favorite horseback ride ever. Even if your an inexperienced rider the horses are well trained and guides make sure everythibg goes well. We did the ride up the mountain and gas a breathe taking view at the foot of the Andes could see Mendoza and the first and think some of the 2nd range of mountain ranges. The food was also some of the best had. Thanks to Stella for hosting us and giving us an authentix experience will always cherish.

Horseback riding in nature - A wonderful experience in the mountains, beautiful horses 🐎 and a delicious dinner. The treatment was most cordial and familiar, the disconnection of the city was enriching, the ride relaxed and excited me in parts , the views from the top unbeatable.

We loved the experience, unique and amazing - the views of the mountains are incredible, from already say that the trail is a bit tiresome but in the end it is worth going to enjoy a good landscape, to get to lunch a rich roast after the crossing, the truth is worth going

Unique and Memorable Experience - A unique and memorable experience. Perfect for those that love nature, sightseeing and animals. The tour group was especially accommodating as I had my phone stolen the day before and they were able to still work with me (via laptop) and made sure I could get picked up for the trip so I didn’t miss it. And I got my phone back in the end! So if all worked out.

The best experience in Argentina so far - After 3 months travelling in Argentina, this was the absolute highlight experience. I cannot recommend this activity enough. After driving off-road to the hills, you are greeted by the most friendly and welcoming gaucho family and offered 3 different treks depending upon confidence. The horses were lovely and docile (no experience required) and looked after very well (they roam free when not being ridden). We did the trek with the most altitude, and it was incredibly fun - a couple of hairy slopes but everyone survived (most hadn't been on a horse before) and it added some real excitement to the journey. The views are incredible from the top - the pictures do not do it justice. The gaucho who kept us 'herded' together was incredibly cool - just to watch him ride a horse is worth it. I highly recommend booking with this family. The BBQ was also delicious - perfectly cooked meat, veggie options, and well-earned beer / wine. I will hold this memory fondly forever.

A wonderful experience - A wonderful experience in a fabulous location. A bumpy ride to the ranch where we were given a short instruction to riding their horses.
We had a horse selected based on experience then were off.
The route was stony and dusty, and sometimes steep, but we trusted the horses and enjoyed a wonderful view over the valley before returning,
The meal was slightly disappointing - really tasty, and plenty of meat, but there were no salads as suggested and the only vegetable was half a stuffed pepper each.
I would also suggest details of pickup (driver's name, car type) are provided without having ro ask. As we waited at the specified location we nearly got in the wrong car....

Perfect for beginners - It was nice to horseride in the mountains & the dinner was super nice afterwards. However, I wished that the group was smaller, and to have a possibility to horse ride more freely (not just sit on a horse and follow a line for few hours). I guess this tour is a good for those who are beginners in horse-riding.

The transport to the... - The transport to the location is truly unacceptable for such a long trip. Crowded, uncomfortable seating and no airconditioning. We were disappointed that winds prevented us from going on the advertised route but that is not the fault of operators. The horses are exceptional and the owners very pleasant but the Asada is ordinary. Still glad to have done this but wouldn’t again.
