Itinerary
Pass by: After hotel pickup, travel by air-conditioned coach for about an hour east of Bariloche and head to Puesto La Fragua de Estancia San Ramon (San Ramón Ranch). One of the oldest working ranches in the area, San Ramón Ranch spans 62,000 acres (25,000 hectares) into the foothills of the Argentine Andes.
Follow your guide to an old countryside school converted to the ranch’s eating area. Inside the former school, ranch staff welcome you with a light breakfast. Next, you'll learn some horseback riding techniques from your expert guide who leads the way on a 2-hour journey into the Andes foothills. This riding is for begginers and experts. Pass a picturesque lake and ride through transition forests before reaching the Patagonian steppe. Keep your eyes peeled for autochthonous animals. After your ride, return to the ranch and dig into a 3-course lunch (a first course, a main course and a dessert) featuring Argentine asado. The feast of traditional barbecued meats comes with an open bar of wine, soft drinks and mineral water. Finishing this, enjoy transport back to your Bariloche hotel. If you select the afternoon tour, you will start off with lunch, then the horseback ride, and end with snacks. *Please note: If you have dietary restrictions, please note these when you book the tour.

Traveler reviews
Take a ride with Jesus in Bariloche!
Horseback riding in Patagonia must be done!! Feel the weather on the back of a horse while learning about the lifestyle and culture by speaking with our wonderful guide, Jesus! Lunch was amazing!! Traditional Patagonia barbecue with the best chimichurri that we had in all of Argentina!
Beautiful cabalcata
We really enjoyed the excursion and the general atmosphere at the ranch. My girlfriend had horse riding experience while i didnt but it was easy to get by. The horses were very very well trained and chill and the gauchos that came with us during the excursion were kind and spoke decent english. Considering the whole package (shuttle bus, intro and explanation, horses, asado, location) i found it very good value for money.
DONT BOOK- cancelled on and given no reason
Super unprofessional booked it and was cancelled on with ZERO reason via what’s app the day before the ride. Had no time to rebook was the number one activity I wanted to do. Still a week later no refund on 400 dollars. Super disappointed would NOT recommend
Tons of fun!
