Horse Riding Holidays in Argentina
Argentina, the world’s eighth largest country, holds such natural wonders as Patagonia, the Andes Mountains and Iguazu Falls. It is also the land of the gaucho, who for centuries have roamed the pampas on horseback, herding cattle and living a nomadic lifestyle.
Andes Crossing
Dreaming of a great expedition on horseback?
This adventurous expedition on horseback crosses the famous Andes from Argentina to Chile. Follow the route taken by the Army of the Andes during the expedition to liberate Argentina, Chile and Peru from the control of the Spanish crown. This horse trek is a real expedition on horseback, with bivouacs in one of the most remote regions of the world, accessible only on horseback. You will cross the snow-capped peaks of the continent’s highest mountains, clear rivers and valleys of unspoilt nature. This is a completely self-supporting trek, with a new camp site almost every evening, surrounded by exceptional panoramas. A challenge for all riders, this expedition begins in Argentina and ends in Chile, following the traditional route across the Andes.
