On Horseback
through Andean Valleys around Pucon
Every ride starts with an introduction, getting
to know your horse. Not just following your guide –
riding your horse is the aim.
Our well trained and sure stepping Criollo horses, together
with the professional bilingual guides make it possible.
Whether beginner or expert — everyone can experience
his own personal freedom on horseback.
Half to 7 day trail rides in the Mapuche Indian community
Quelhue and the Andean valleys of Cerros de Quelhue, Huerquehue
and Rio Blanco, near the border of Chile - Argentina.
Get to know the area's countryside and its people the most
natural way — on horseback.

On the Farm everything's around the horses,
care-taking, training, preparing the rides. You want to spent
some days with us on the farm?—You’re welcome!
On the Farm we have three alternatives for your stay:
a separate , private
cabin, a private room in our
small and cozy
wooden guesthouse, or
the campground by the river.
Situated between the steep "Ceros de Quelhue" mountain
range and Liucura river from almost every place you enjoy
great views of the surrounding volcanoes .
|
| Our
horses and tack:
We are riding Chilean Criollos, a rather small breed of working
horses. Well trained and in perfect condition they are a good
choice for everyone, from beginners to experts. The Chilean
saddles are very comfortable, ideal for a long day on horseback.
Waterproof saddle bags to store away your stuff, rain poncho
(if needed) and chaps are all part of the equipment. |
