Experience Full-Day Horseback Riding in the Argentine Pampas near Carlos Keen
This full-day horseback riding tour suits riders seeking authentic gaucho culture and countryside landscapes outside Buenos Aires.
Description
Begin your day at a stud farm near Carlos Keen, meeting your hosts Marcelo and Pablo. Learn about traditional gaucho riding equipment, then saddle a Criollo horse with expert guidance.
Ride along quiet dirt roads bordered by wheat fields, soy farms, cattle ranches, estancias, and acacia forests. Adapt your pace—walk, trot, or gallop—according to your skill and comfort level across open Pampas meadows.
After approximately two hours, stop at Marcelo’s countryside cottage for a traditional Argentine asado lunch featuring Malbec wine, dessert, and an opportunity to try mate in a relaxed rural setting.
In the afternoon, continue horseback riding toward the old center of Carlos Keen, riding through grazing meadows before returning to the stud farm. Finish with a gallop if conditions and confidence allow.
