Lessons From A Gaucho

Gauchos – a relic of Argentina’s romanticised love affair with horses or proficient horsemen playing a relevant part in today’s Andean landscape?

On this extraordinary trip you’ll find out that the answer is both.

Joining a small group of eight, ride with working gauchos traversing a remote part of Patagonia. Don your chaps and get ready to explore Argentina’s utterly remote Lake District, hemmed in by the snow-dusted Andes. This seven-day riding safari criss crosses through conifer forests, thigh-high glacial-fed rivers, across wildflower-strewn valleys, and up volcanic ridges.

"On this epic riding safari, you will saddle up on Criollo horses. These are the native horse of the Argentinian pampas, renowned for their sure-footedness and stamina."

Going Gaucho

"This trip is no mean feat - you'll ride through 12,000 hectares of privately-owned land bordering Nahuel Huapi, and the 400,000 hectare Lanin National Park."

Being in the company of brave beret-clad gauchos will rub off on you – learn about mythical folklore plus everyday customs such as weather forecasting and why you should never touch a gaucho’s horse. As you come to the end of your trip and habitation comes back into view you may realise that, aside from your merry band of gauchos, you haven’t seen another soul.
