OVERVIEW

Ride towards the valley along the lesser-known trails that settlers and horsemen used in the early days. You’ll admire the imposing rock slopes and a spectacular view of the Torres, while feeling truly connected to the horse and the surrounding environment.

Bordering the slopes of Cerro Paine, we’ll make a stop to enjoy the landscape, where you’ll notice a unique microclimate and distinct vegetation. After the valley, you’ll have glorious views of Mount Almirante Nieto and be enveloped in the serenity of Lake Nordenskjöld. If you’re lucky, you’ll see puma tracks as you pass by the “Puma Cave” on the way back to the stables.

Guided by our horsemen, riders of all levels will love exploring the culture and heart of Patagonia.

This guided tour can start in the morning or afternoon. Departure is from the horse stable located a few meters from Hotel Las Torres and must be reserved in advance.

Following the contours of Cerro Paine, we’ll pause to take in the scenery, where you’ll observe a unique microclimate and diverse vegetation.

With luck, you may even spot traces of puma activity as we pass by the “Puma Cave” on our return journey to the stables.

Under the guidance of our experienced horsemen, riders of every skill level will delight in delving into the culture and essence of Patagonia.

What type of terrain will we be riding through during the horseback tour?

The horseback riding tour will take you through the scenic and varied terrain of the Ascensio Canyon, which includes paths along the canyon, riverside areas, and forested zones, providing a great mix of natural landscapes.

How long does the horseback riding tour last?

The horseback riding tour lasts for approximately 3 hours.

Do I need previous horseback-riding experience?

Many scenic rides are suitable for beginners, but you should always declare your experience level when booking. Horses and pacing can then be matched more appropriately to the group.

How are horses assigned to riders?

Operators generally consider experience, confidence, size and the nature of the route when assigning horses. Final decisions are made by the local riding team.

Will the ride be fast or mostly at a walking pace?

The pace depends on terrain, group ability and safety conditions. Scenic Patagonia rides generally prioritize control and landscape enjoyment rather than speed.

What if I feel nervous once I am on the horse?

Tell the guide immediately. Guides can provide additional instruction, adjust your position in the group and help you ride more comfortably.

Is horseback riding comfortable for first-time riders?

Most beginners adapt quickly, although some muscle soreness afterward is normal. Relaxed posture and following the guide’s instructions make a significant difference.

Can the weather change the riding route?

Yes. Wind, rain, snow, ground conditions or visibility may require route adjustments. Safety and animal welfare take priority over following a fixed path.

Is this activity suitable for travelers with back or knee problems?

Horseback riding can place stress on the back, hips and knees. Travelers with relevant conditions should consult a medical professional and ask the operator about suitability before booking.

Why is horseback riding a good way to experience Patagonia?

It connects the landscape with the region’s rural and gaucho traditions and can reach viewpoints or open terrain in a way that feels very different from traveling by vehicle.

Can I take photographs while riding?

Yes, but only when it is safe to do so. It is better to stop the horse or wait for a designated pause rather than handling a phone or camera while moving.

What happens if someone in the group is much more experienced than the others?

Guides normally keep the group at a pace appropriate to the least experienced riders. The priority is a safe shared experience rather than advanced riding.
