TAKE A RIDE ON THE WILD SIDE.
30 minutes from Puerto Natales, Chilean Patagonia, we will explore beautiful open fields on horseback and discover the local culture.
Before leaving for a half or a full day ride, we teach you how to communicate with our beloved horses and how to handle them safely. Sharing a 'mate' tea or a tasty 'asado' barbecue with local meats is adding flavor to these unforgettable moments.
Entering the herd of horses in the round pen, learning about the taming process, about horse care, discovering gaucho equipment, the amazing working dogs, participate in ranch work as driving cattle between summer and winter fields, sleeping in a remote "puesto", making bread together...
There is always something to experiment in wild Patagonia!
GAUCHO CULTURE
For centuries, the gauchos have been taking care of cows and sheep in the most remote and wild areas, living for months in simple conditions, with their loyal horses and dogs as companionship.
No matter what the weather is, a gaucho wakes up early every day to set fire, have his first mate and prepare his meal, which will be slowly cooked while he is outside, taking care of the animals and premises.
They are solitary souls with millions of stories.
The local gauchos will be protagonists of your journey with us.

Don’t think twice before doing this in Puerto Natales! – You really have to do this while in Puerto Natales. They provide taxi recommendations as well which worked out really well. I was doing something like this for the first… read more time and Charlotte and Enrique made it really easy with their helpful instructions and safety tips.
The horseback tour itself is just beautiful. It’s great to explore the raw and unexplored Patagonia rather than the common touristy stuff. Enrique told many interesting stories along the way as well which was really fun. You pass through forests, open fields, hills and streams of water which give you a variety of different experiences. You’ll end up wanting for more by the end of it.
