We just returned from our trip and wanted to thank you for arranging our favorite day in Chile. The whole family tremendously enjoyed this unique experience the day provided. Everything was perfect…the incredible views, the steady and easy-to-ride horses, the delicious barbecue lunch, and considerate staff. Patricio and Leo were wonderful! Please continue to offer this high-quality opportunity for visitors.

Excerpts from a review in TripAdvisor (http://www.tripadvisor.com/
I was on a business trip in Santiago, and had a weekend free… The best thing about this company is that they offer CUSTOMISED TOURS. I laid out what I wanted (higher altitudes, further distance etc.) and they managed to organise a tour at very short notice… The other great thing about this company is that it quickly responds to your questions and needs. It is run by a very organised English family who are very efficient at getting your personalised tour to run like clockwork… The horses are very well-trained and less temperamental than ones that I have ridden in the UK… I saw several groups of less experienced riders and they had a great time with the horses as the horses were very calm and moved at a comfortable pace. The guides have very good control over all the horses. I would certainly be comfortable with recommending these highly-disciplined horses to anyone. The best thing about horses is you can go much further and higher than if you hiked. I have also done a horse-riding tour in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, and it wasn’t as much fun as this one. The guides in Chile are nicer, more relaxed; the horses have a better temperament; the weather is better; and and the scenery is more stunning.
