Highlights
  • Las Heras Department - The activities are carried out in a gaucho post located at the foot of the beautiful pre mountain range about an hour from the city of Mendoza. Upon arriving at the place our family will revive them with mates and we will prepare the horses while we give them a talk to give them the knowledge they will need at the time of starting the ride. Once finished we will begin to ride on horseback, for 3 hours, unexplored paths between hills and plains adorned with the imposing framework of the pre Cordillera with the possibility of seeing wild animals such as guanaco, condor, fox and hares. In the middle of the tour we will go up to a viewpoint located at 2000 meters high giving view to a unique landscape of the city and its mountains. There we will get off the horses so they can photograph the majestic landscape and feel the magnificent mountain, after a few minutes we return to the gaucho stand where a typical country roast awaits us, accompanied by roasted vegetables, fresh vegetables and the delicious Mendoza wine that The rest of the evening will accompany us. At 10 pm approximately we undertake the return to the city of Mendoza where our services end.

Authentic Experience with Great Views, People and Food! - Be prepared for a day as a gaucho! Whatever recommendations they give you before going, follow them. The people are all so kind and hospitable. The horses are well behaved, the farm is beautiful and the team makes you feel comfortable with the ride, even if you don’t have the experience. If you are not comfortable with heights - this isn’t for you. But if you trust your horses and the guides you will enjoy a beautiful view with a great time. The traditional asado after was just an added bonus!

Do not want to miss this experience! - This experience was amazing! The horses were wonderful (I had no experience) and the tour guides were very helpful. They even picked us up from the airport after our flight got changed to later than expected. The view from the mountains is incredible, and then we got to enjoy some amazing home cooked food afterwards which really just made the whole experience unforgettable. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Great experience - Very authentic and lovely experience. We were offered three routes based on our level of comfort though all were absolutely fine for all the riders with different levels of experience (some first time). The horses are lovely, the views are amazing and the BBQ at the end is great. Very friendly organisers and good communication in the run up to the experience.

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! - This was actually our SECOND experience with El Relincho Cabalgatas. We loved it so much the first time that we did it AGAIN, and brought a friend with us the second time. I cannot recommend enough that you experience this! The service, the views, the food, everything about the experience ... all 5 star! We are in Mendoza for 3 months, and I suspect we might do this is a third time before leaving. It is well worth every penny (or pesos!).

Amazing! - I did this trip during my travel in Argentina and it was really amazing! To be honest: for me this was the highlight of my 3 weeks in Argentina. The host was very nice and it was a special experience in a beautiful area!

Memorable Horse Excursion outside of Mendoza - A memorable three-hour horseback ride into the Andes mountains, followed by a delicious BBQ dinner and wine. The horses are well trained and the gaucho horsemen have many years of experience. We left Mendoza at 3pm and returned at 11pm. We did the “high trail” and there were a few steep parts, but there are multiple guides to help you up and down. We had beginners and experienced riders, and both groups enjoyed!

An afternoon at the ranch - The ranch is in the mountains and it takes a little while to get there. Ezechiel is a terrific host and explained what to expect and gave a mini class on horse riding. The horses walk in a line, it takes a while to get to and on top of an hill from where you have a beautiful view. The path is narrow and the horses know very well what to do, but in a couple of points it is not for the faint of hearth. All is concluded with a splendid asado, with plenty of succulent meats, sausages and vegetables. Vegetarian option available. The ranch is run by a couple, the horses live freely on the mountains. All in all is a beautiful experience
