Horseback riding in Southern Chile

Established in 1997, we run a horseback riding center on the outskirts of Pucon,Chile. Vacations on horseback, whether half-day horse riding, several day horse treks, or farmstays, are part of the activities offered at our ranch. Visit us and discover the natural beauty and pristine wilderness of the Andean valleys around the National Parks Villarrica and Huerquehue on horseback. We ride a series of different horse trails, suited to your riding abilities, and our chilean criollo horses fulfill the needs of every rider. Whether beginner or expert, we've got the right horse for you!
