Top 5 Horseback Riding Patagonia Trips for 2026 & 2027

The two Patagonian trips with a ranch and riding in them. Same length, opposite landscapes, and in both cases the riding is a free day rather than the reason for the trip.

Steppe or forest: the two ways to ride in Patagonia

Riding in Patagonia is a day inside a longer trip, and where you do it changes it completely. The Calafate side is open steppe on a working sheep station, with wind and no shelter. The Bariloche side is forest and lake shore in the Andes. Choosing between them is really choosing which half of Patagonia you are seeing.

El Calafate

Steppe, wind and distance

A lodge above Lago Argentino with a free day to ride out across the Patagonian steppe. Flat light, nothing to break the wind, and horizons that keep going. It sits on the same trip as the Perito Moreno glacier, which is what most people came for.

Riding plus the glacier

Bariloche

Forest, lake and a ranch day

Peuma Hue, on the shore of Lago Gutiérrez under Cerro Catedral. Riding through southern beech forest instead of open country, with the ranch day built as much around the food and the setting as around the horses.

Riding plus the lakes

Worth saying

This is not a riding holiday

Neither one is a week-long cabalgata with a change of horses and a different camp each night. Here the saddle is a morning or an afternoon inside a wider Patagonia trip. If you want the riding to be the trip, it has to be built that way from the start.

A day, not a week

The other regions that ride are at Argentina horse riding holidays, and the two trips in full at El Calafate tours and Bariloche tours.

Patagonia Horse Riding Holidays FAQ's

While there are routes tailored for experienced riders, many tours accommodate beginners, with introductory lessons and gentle terrains to ensure a comfortable experience.

Tour durations vary, ranging from a few hours to multi-day excursions. Depending on your preference, you can opt for short scenic rides or immersive multi-day treks exploring deeper into the Patagonian wilderness.

Absolutely! The horses used for these tours are well-adapted to the Patagonian environment and are often locally bred, ensuring they're comfortable with the region's varying terrains.

Yes, many horseback riding tours in Patagonia incorporate elements of gaucho culture, offering riders insights into their traditional ways of life, equestrian skills, and even local cuisine.

Comfortable riding pants or jeans, sturdy boots with a slight heel, a helmet (though many providers offer them), gloves for grip, and layers for varying weather conditions are essential. Sun protection, including a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen, is also recommended.

Most tours have a minimum age requirement, often around 8 to 12 years, depending on the tour's intensity. It's always best to check with individual tour operators regarding age limits and any other restrictions.

Many tour operators in Patagonia offer customizable private tours. Whether you have specific routes in mind, wish to focus on particular landscapes, or desire a more intimate experience, customization options are typically available. Embarking on a horseback riding adventure in Patagonia means stepping into a world where nature's majesty meets time-honored equestrian traditions. Riding through these expansive landscapes, one gains a unique perspective, feeling both the vastness of the region and the heartbeat of life that pulses through it. Whether galloping across open steppes or meandering along mountain paths, each journey on horseback offers an unforgettable experience, blending thrill, tranquility, and a deep connection to Patagonia's soul.

What Your Patagonia Trip Includes

Every quote we send lists this in writing, trip by trip. As a rule, this is how a Patagonia package is built.

Included

In every package

Hotels selected and checked by our team; private transfers between airports, hotels and excursions; excursions with English-speaking local guides; entrance fees to Los Glaciares and Tierra del Fuego national parks; daily breakfast and the meals marked day by day; a local WhatsApp support line for the whole trip.

Not included

Said upfront

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. Domestic flights inside Patagonia are quoted separately or included depending on the package, and your quote states which, with the amount, so the total is clear before you book.

If the weather closes a trail, the day is not lost

Patagonian wind changes plans, and we plan for it. Every key day has a same-region backup: if the wind closes the glacier boat, you see Perito Moreno from the walkways instead; if the Fitz Roy viewpoint is in cloud, we swap days inside your itinerary. Wherever the schedule allows, we rebook the highlight inside your trip at no extra cost.

Tell us when you can travel. We will build the route.
