Saddle up for an unparalleled journey through Patagonia’s rugged landscapes on horseback. Delve deep into its untamed wilderness, where each trot and canter unveils panoramic vistas of snow-capped peaks, vast pampas, and shimmering lakes. Riding alongside local gauchos, experience Patagonia’s age-old equestrian traditions, feeling the rhythm of this vast land beneath you. Whether a novice rider or an equestrian expert, horseback adventures in Patagonia promise a connection with nature that’s profound and timeless.
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.

Prices are per person, from, for the 2026 to 2027 season. Per day is a comparison aid, not how the trip is billed. Every itinerary is tailor-made and quoted individually.
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.
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
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
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.

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