What you can expect

  • Horseback Riding Experience
    This is a horseback ride through the Estancia 25 de Mayo Natural Reserve, where we can feel the vastness of the Patagonian fields, discovering ravines, streams, and stories of the southern gauchos, and enjoying a country lunch at the “Cueva del Arroyo”.
    The starting point is the Estancia's main building, where we'll have a brief technical briefing. After putting on our helmets and gaiters, we'll leave the corrals and head south, crossing the Cañadón del Arroyo Calafate.
    On our journey, we'll cross streams and geological formations that show us the passage of millions of years. The ravine formed by these rocks shelters us from the characteristic winds of the region as we gain altitude on our journey.
    After 1.5 hours of horseback riding, we arrive at the Cueva del Arroyo, where the gauchos in charge of the trip prepare a delicious country lunch for us. To complete the experience, we'll be offered a toast with wine, and then we'll return to the Estancia 25 de Mayo.

    Duration: approximately 4 hours.
    Duration of the horseback ride: approx. 12 km - 3 hours
    Ages: minimum 12 years, maximum 60 years
