Argentina - Inca Trails Expedition

Overview

horse riding holiday Argentina Inca Trails

Client Gallery >>

Argentina is a land of horses and this equestrian trip explores the vast beauty of the varied landscapes while spending time with the local Calchaqui indians. Cross the Andes Mountains of Northwest Argentina on horseback, the way it was done in Colonial times, (but keeping a few comforts from the 21st Century).

Follow ancient Incan trails on this unforgettable equestrian trip that takes riders to places only accessible on horseback. Experience tropical forests with crystal clear streams in the Lerma Valley, the Calchaquí desert with its multicolored mountains, and to the Cafayate Creek with its wind eroded hills. These horseback trail rides have been designed to show the breath-taking contrast in the landscapes divided by the Dead Lion (Puma) Mountain Range.

Ride up to 3,000m (9,000 feet) where the forest changes to high altitude grassland, home of the Andean condor. Camp under the night skies and enjoy the timeless spirit of nature while making new friends. Along the trail, horseback riders have chance to experience and absorb the local culture that is still alive high up in the mountains.

The horses are the core of this equestrian trip and is suitable for horseback riders who are fit and capable at walk, trot and canter. Novices and less confident riders can be accommodated with prior arrangement.

This is either a 9 day/8 night adventure which includes 6 full riding days and a bed each night, or a 12 day/11 night adventure including 9 full riding days. Please note that if not booking Buenos Aires activities the ride will be 8 days/7 nights/6 days riding or 11 days/10 nights/9 riding days.

Ride Summary

What was your overall impression of the holiday

Amazing ! A cultural plunge into the roots of North Argentina, off the grid, to explore a non touristic oasis in a very touristic region. An incredible number of different landscapes and eco-system throughout the 6 days of riding.

Riding tour leader

Additional Comments

My host and his gaucho Delfin were looking after us like no one before. We had the chance to be a group of 3, sharing stories and jokes in various languages. We loved it so much that we are meeting again, hopefully crossing the Andes together!

Horses and Tack

Additional Comments

The tack was used but of excellent quality and in perfect condition. Horses were excellent, all of different characters and getting along very well. The pace was perfect, giving us time to adjust to horses and tack, then speeding up and the last morning ride was a meditative pace to help us digesting all we experienced in the past days.
