Nothing easier to escape from stress and smog of the capital:
Half an hour from Santiago lays another world, the hidden world of the majestic Andes Mountains.
On horseback we follow a small trail through a green and small valley, heading towards the mountains tops. We can notice the progressive changes in the vegetation due to the altitude and sun exposition. Often, the impressive condors honor us with their presence. At the rhythm of the small and robust Chilean horses, born and bred in the mountain and with a very steady step, we take in the stunning vistas. Here we share for a couple of days the daily life of our “arrieros” (local cowboys) Ismael or his father, our guides in this adventure.

Itinerary

  • Day 1: We will pick you up at 9:30 am at your hotel in Santiago and join Ismael or Melchor, our local Arrieros, who are waiting for us. The horses are ready to go and the mules will carry our food & equipment for the whole trip. We start our steady climb up and soon we are deep into the mountains.
    We will enjoy the first lunch close to a small river; a short trekking will lead us to a waterfall. In the afternoon, we reach our base camp called the Quesería, a place with an amazing view of the mountains. Here we are at nearly 2500 m high. We set up the tents, build a fire and enjoy aperitif before the barbecue dinner.
  • Day 2: Today you can choose for an active day of horseback riding or a laid-back relaxing day: either you spend the morning at our base camp and enjoy your lunch there OR you go riding for the whole day leaving around 10.00 am, with the option to savour a hearty lunch close to the river and enjoy an optional swim.
