Easter Special: Forest and Hotspring Trail, 10 days.
From March 25. to April 3.
The ride is guided by an Chilean arriero
(as the chilean cowboys are called) and an English and Spanish
speaking guide. We sleep in tents, all our luggage we take with
us on the horses. Cooking, putting up the tents etc., will be
done together by the group. Everyone should to their own ability,
take care of their own horses.
Thanks to the volcanic activities of this region we find several natural hot springs in our area. 2 of the more hidden ones we will visit on thes ride. Dense virgin forests, mountain lakes, ridgepaths with breathtaking
views over the sourounding valleys and the different hot springs
hidden in the forest are waiting for us. |
