Pick up in Pucon 1.00 pm or Temuco airport 3.00 pm ,welcome to the farm. Time to get to know the horses, tack and equipment, and to get settled. In the evening we enjoy our first meal at the ranch house.

We take an initial ride through the Quelhue mountains and along Liucura River to evaluate your riding experience, get familiar with the saddle and tack and determine which horses to take on our great adventure. Lunch at Antilco, time to pack the saddlebags. In the evening we ride to our first camp at Renahue.

We cross the first of three mountain ranges on our trail towards Argentina. At night we camp beside the natural hot springs in Rio Blanco Valley. We ride virgin rainforests and dense stands of Coighue trees and bamboo and along the slopes of Sollipulli volcano, overnights in a tent camp at a farm in the Mapuche Indian comunity Flor del Valle and in the mountain lodge “Nevados de Sollipulli”.

We cross the last range in Chile, return to civilization riding through the small Mapuche settlement of Icalma where we stay overnight at a beautiful cabin on the lake-shore. Here we meet the supply truck that brings our luggage bag for the next days in Argentina.

We arrange custom formalities with the Chilean border control and ride into the the last mountain that seperates us from Argentina. Here, right on the continental watershed that defines the border with Argentina we say goodby to our Chilean horses and the guides that led us to this magnificent place. We walk 20 meters on foot and meet Hernan and his wonderful Argentinean horses that will carry us through the unique world of the Argentinean Andes for the next three days..

On the following days we ride the valleys and cliffs of Argentina, watch condors pass us by,meet shepherds with their herds of cattle or goats and enjoy amazing views over the endless wide open spaces of this uninhabited part of the world. On the evening of day 9 we reach the outpost were Hernan lives with his horses and which marks the end of our journey. We celebrate the end of the trek with a typical Argentinean barbecue while recounting our adventures from the past week and sharing our impressions of this experience of a lifetime.
