What to expect
It will be a typical gaucho day from the beginning to the end. Don Daniel’s is a true mountain hut, which allows each visitor to share its family tradition. You will enjoy the calm and the immensity of the Andes on horseback, and our host will guide you through unique trails, only known to those who inhabit this area. You will have a unique experience off the beaten track.
To start, some delicious mates with tortas fritas: you will be welcomed at the ranch with delicious homemade fried pastries.
And then let’s get ready to ride. We will meet the horse and the muleteer, and we will visit places that will surprise us with their natural beauty. A tip: Take a camera! What we will see is just unbelievable.
After 3 hours of riding, we know you’ll be hungry. We will prepare a great asado -with a vegetarian option for those who prefer so-, accompanied by quality wine from Mendoza. We will conclude the day with the dessert.

The horses we had were very sweet. The horses definitely knew the terrain and we felt safe even going down steep hills! The scenery was breathtaking. We will treasure this day trip forever.

Start to finish this was an amazing experience that I am so excited that I got to share with my wife and parents. From the drive up past Lago Potrerillos with Lorenzo to the amazing hospitality of Don Daniel and his family. The day was start to finish amazing and by far our favorite activity in Argentina (above wine tasting, tango classes and 5 star restaurants) the views from the top of the ride, the conviviality of the asado and the experience of being on those amazing horses will stay with me for a long, long time.I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It was a really authentic experience and we loved every minute of it. Joaquín was our point of contact and he was very helpful.

I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It was a really authentic experience and we loved every minute of it. Joaquín was our point of contact and he was very helpful. We were picked up from our hostel and brought to the mountains to meet Don Daniel and his family. We set off on horseback up the mountains with 3 others and 2 guides. The scenery will take your breath away and the guides are exceptional. For lunch we had a traditional asado and lots of wine and cheese with an amazing view. Lorenzo was our personal guide and he was so attentive and passionate. We didn’t have much experience with horses but never felt uncomfortable. We are nearly half way through our South American trip and this has been the absolute highlight. The memories will stay with us for the rest of our lives.This was an incredible experience that I would absolutely recommend to anyone! It was very well organized and both Joaquin and Daniel (and his family) were so welcoming and helpful.

We had a tour of our own, only with the guide Joaquín who picked us up at the hotel. We drove to a small ranch far up in the mountains where we met a local gaucho at his private house. The gaucho prepared the horses while we had some mate. The ranch is really simple, but a great experience to see the «real deal», and not just a tourist setup. After a few hours at the horse, we had asado (BBQ) with meat, wine and cheese. The nature is very nice and un-touched by humans. In all a highlight in my Argentina trip. Not a tour for an old grandmother, but that said this was my first time riding a horse.This was an amazing, once in a lifetime experience. Joaquín was the perfect guide... he was so friendly, his English was great, and he was so knowledgeable about the area! I would recommend this experience to anyone!
