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.
