rides

Valle La Engorda, at the end of which the glaciers on Volcan San Jose can be seen.

We take rides of all lengths and sizes from our location outside of Santiago. From just 1 person to larger groups; rides of 2 or 3 hours near the parcela; a 1 day ride in the pre-cordillera or the high Andes; several days with camping; or special family rides on horseback. Some of our horse treks go out from our ‘parcela’, or smallholding next to Santiago, in the Cajon del Maipo; others set out from Banos Morales, higher up the valley around 2000m and starting in the high Andes. There is nowhere that isn’t wonderfully beautiful, with streams, rivers, flowers and birds. At the higher levels mineral coloured spectacular rock formations; at the lower levels streams, rocks, cactus and wonderful huge native Chilean trees.
