Description
*Horseback Riding Experience*
It's a horseback ride through the Estancia 25 de Mayo Nature Reserve, where you can feel the immensity of the Patagonian fields, discovering canyons, streams, and stories of the southern gauchos, enjoying a picnic lunch in the 'Cueva del Arroyo.'
The starting point is the Estancia's main building, where we'll have a quick safety talk. After we're all set up with helmets and leggings, we'll head south from the corrals, crossing the Calafate stream's canyon.
On our tour, we'll cross streams and geological formations that show us the passage of millions of years. The ravine formed by these rocks shields us from the region's characteristic winds as we gain altitude.
After an hour and a half of riding, you'll arrive at the Cueva del Arroyo, where the gauchos in charge of the trip will prepare a delicious picnic lunch. To top off the experience, they'll offer us a toast with wine, and then we'll head back to the Estancia 25 de Mayo.
It'll take about 4 hours.
