«The silence of the mountain on horseback, the colors of the sky and then the taste of that asado... it was the best night of our trip,» one couple told us. That is the magic we want to share with you: a real connection with nature and tradition.
The Adventure: Horseback Riding on Mountain Trails
When you arrive at the post, the tame horses and our guides will be waiting for you. You will embark on a journey of almost two hours on trails that wind between hills and dry streams. As the sun begins to descend, the colors of the Andes transform, painting a landscape that will take your breath away. It is a quiet ride, ideal for all levels, focused on the enjoyment of the environment and the peace of the mountain.
The Taste: Authentic Bar Oven Roasted in a Clay Oven
When you return from the horseback ride, the aroma of the clay oven will welcome you. You will sit at the table to enjoy the jewel of the night: a traditional asado cooked for hours, which achieves an incomparable tenderness and flavor. Accompanied by fresh salads and, of course, a good Mendoza wine, dinner becomes a moment to share stories and enjoy under a starry sky, far from the city lights. A rustic and memorable dining experience.

Frequently Asked Questions about your Ride
Do I need to have previous experience to ride?
No, not at all. The experience is designed for all levels. The horses are very gentle and are used to the ride. In addition, our guides will give you all the necessary instructions so that you feel safe and enjoy the ride.
What if it is not summer season?
The experience is wonderful all year round. The pool is an extra available only in the warmer months (generally December through March). Outside of that season, the experience focuses on the horseback riding and dinner, which are especially cozy on cooler evenings.
How is the «asado al horno de barro»?
It is a traditional country cooking technique. Unlike grilling, the meat is cooked slowly with the enveloping heat of the clay oven, resulting in an incredibly tender texture and a deep, smoky flavor. It is a true regional delicacy.
What clothes should I wear for the experience?
For your comfort and safety, it is essential to wear long pants and closed shoes (sneakers or boots). Don't forget a hat and sunscreen for the sunset. If you come in summer, bring your bathing suit and towel. And one last tip: always bring a coat, because when the sun goes down in the mountains, the temperature cools down.
