Mendoza horseback riding tours offer a unique and exhilarating way to explore the stunning landscapes of Argentina’s famed wine region. These tours take you on a journey through rolling vineyards, rustic farmlands, and the foothills of the majestic Andes Mountains. Riders of all skill levels can enjoy the serene beauty of Mendoza from the back of a horse, often accompanied by experienced guides who share insights into the region’s rich culture and history. Some tours include traditional Argentine asados (barbecues) and wine tastings, making for a truly authentic and memorable experience in the heart of Argentina’s countryside.

There is no packaged riding trip in Mendoza, and that is not an oversight. The rides here are half days out of a finca in the pre-cordillera, put together for the group that asks for them, and they sit inside a wine or mountain itinerary rather than replacing it. The trips below are the ones a ride gets added to.
Out from a finca in the pre-cordillera, usually late in the afternoon and often ending at a table. A couple of hours in the saddle on criollo horses, not a day of covering ground.
An afternoon, not a day
The riding operators around Mendoza are small and work to order, so the ride gets quoted with the rest of the trip instead of sitting on a shelf. Ask for it when you enquire and it goes into the itinerary.
Quoted with the trip
If you want the horse to be the reason for the trip rather than an afternoon inside it, the estancias of the pampas and Patagonia are built for exactly that, and Mendoza is not.
Where the estancias are
The estancia trips are at Argentina horse riding holidays and Argentina ranch vacations. Everything else the region does is at Mendoza tours.

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Mendoza package is built.
Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; tasting fees at the wineries listed in your itinerary, and park entrance fees where the route includes them; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.
International flights to and from Argentina; travel insurance; meals not marked in the itinerary; personal expenses and gratuities; optional activities, which we price in writing beforehand. The Buenos Aires to Mendoza flight is quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.
The high Andes pass and the Aconcagua road close with snow in winter and after storms. When that happens we bring your Uco Valley or Luján de Cuyo day forward and keep the mountain for the next clear morning. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.
