Explore a land still untamed
Only 25 minutes from Puerto Natales, in the Tres Pasos area, we invite you to leave the noise behind and reconnect with what truly matters. Here, you do more than simply ride. You learn to communicate with your horse, ride with confidence, and take in the vastness of Patagonia’s landscapes. We follow old gaucho (cowboy) trails through historic working estancias (ranches).
We ride through native forests, cross rivers, gallop across open pampas, and climb windswept hills where Patagonia reminds you what freedom truly feels like. Every day brings a new adventure in Patagonia.
_ Small groups.
_ Personalized attention
_ Well-trained and well-cared-for horses.
Experiences guided by professionals, in English and Spanish.
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.

Absolutely amazing experience!! – I cannot recommend this place enough!! My friends and I decided to book a half-day ride after completing the W Trek and it was truly a great experience. Charlotte was… read more amazing as she was so welcoming and helpful. This place accommodates all riding levels and the horses are one of a kind. There are great views of the mountains and everything is so much cooler on horseback. Would 100% recommend to anyone and I would do it again if ever back in Puerto Natales!

An Authentic Patagonia Riding Experience – I came to Patagonia to ride horses, and Galope Austral exceeded my expectations on every front.
Just 30 minutes outside Puerto Natales, on the road to Torres del Paine,… read more Charlotte and Enrique have created something truly special. All of their horses are trained by them — well-loved, healthy, and full of personality — a clear reflection of the deep respect they have for both the animals and the land.
The full-day Tres Pasos ride explores a portion of the 4000-hectare estancia, where you ride through remote, breathtaking landscapes that few people ever get to experience – forests, rivers, dramatic cliffs, mountains, and vast pampas – all in complete solitude. Diva was my incredibly sure-footed partner – who knew she was also a prize-winning endurance horse!
Don’t expect a nose-to-tail, cookie cutter ride – this is an authentic experience focused on being with your horse, while being fully immersed in the sheer beauty of Patagonia. Every moment feels open, relaxed, and completely unscripted.
Thank you to Charlotte and Enrique for sharing such an unforgettable experience.
