Ride Like a Local

Ride Alongside Traditional Gauchos

These carefully selected rides give you the chance to experience that equestrian heritage first-hand, from learning to ride in traditional South American tack with pantaneiro fitted with thick sheepskin and mastering the technical skills needed to navigate varied terrain, to experiencing the unique, incredibly smooth gaits of breeds such as the Paso Fino.

You might find yourself working cattle alongside local gauchos, navigating narrow mountain trails, crossing rivers or enjoying exhilarating canters across open country – all while riding in the same style and traditions that have been shaped by the land for generations.

More than simply seeing South America from horseback, these adventures allow you to truly ride like a local and experience the deep connection between horse, rider, culture and landscape.
