Horseback Riding in La Carrera: A Private Immersion in the Soul of the Andes

Beyond the vineyards, there is another Mendoza. A Mendoza of imposing silences, pure air and infinite horizons. We invite you to discover it in the most genuine way: on horseback. This is not a simple horseback ride; it is an immersion in the gaucho culture and in one of the most pristine landscapes of the Uco Valley, La Carrera. We take care of transforming a remote adventure into an accessible luxury experience, connecting you with the essence of the Andes without sacrificing comfort and safety. It is a day to disconnect from the world and reconnect with the land.

La Carrera: A Natural Sanctuary at the Foot of the Mountain Range

La Carrera is one of Mendoza's best kept secrets. A high altitude valley guarded by giants such as the Tupungato Volcano and the Cordón del Plata. Here, time seems to move at a different pace, marked by the passing of horses and the mountain wind. It is the perfect scenery for a memorable horseback ride, traveling through trails of baqueanos and discovering landscapes that command respect and admiration. The experience is lived in the Estancia Los Coirones, A real country inn where hospitality and tradition are felt in every detail.
