Life of a Gaucho - Horse Riding in Argentina for 9 Days
During this horse riding holiday in Patagonia, Argentina with Ride Andes, ride amongst the azure lakes and snowy peaks of the pristine Nahuel Huapi National Park. Ride to the base of glaciers, see & hear the thunder of ice falls; passing through native beech forests, crossing crystal-clear rivers, lupin filled meadows, arrive at remote lakes beneath the glacier-covered mountains in this untouched wilderness – then, leaving the gauchos, enjoy an evening of tango in Buenos Aires!

“The scenery was breathtaking.
The horses were beyond amazing
(and they were well cared for
and in great shape).
The riding varied greatly in terms of elevation change, surroundings, and terrain.
Never a dull or uninteresting moment!

welcoming and charming.
The accommodations ranged
from lovely to spectacular.
The food was delicious and plentiful.”
