“10/10. Such a special evening, and my favorite steak I’ve had in Buenos Aires (which is saying a lot). They were both wonderful hosts, and it was great learning about some history while hanging with the group in a beautiful space. And absolutely loved the guitar/singing ending. Immaculate vibes.”

The Ranch is beautiful, the surrounding is so spacious, I found it breath taking. The horses are super well behaved and well taken care off! The ride itself is beautiful and we enjoyed every bit of it. The food afterwards was excellent. You just feel that they have a heart of liking good products. We geld so relaxed.

Ride mellow horses into the Andes foothills, then feast on traditional asado with wine at San Ramón Ranch near Bariloche.
“Everything was included, small breakfast, 2 h horse riding (a bit slow that fit all levels) with nice views. After riding a big lunch with wine and bbq. Very beautiful ecpietance. They don't do photos for you so either ask the travel friends to take photos and share later or take yourself”
Night polo outside Buenos Aires with pros under lights, guide-led rules, empanadas and asado, plus round-trip hotel transport.
“Natalia was wonderful! We had a great time watching the polo matches and participating and riding the horses. However, we were not prepared for the very long drive (1.5 hours one way) and very late meal (12:00 am)! We did not get back to our hotel until almost 2:00 am! If it could have been earlier it would have been so much better!”

Trek the Andes near Mendoza, spot wildlife, then refuel with Daniel’s mountain hut asado criollo and Mendoza wine.
“Bei dieser Tour mit Wanderung konnte man immer wieder interessante Unterschiede zu anderen Gebirgen, wie Alpen, Rockies erkennen und es hat richtig Spaß gemacht um es intensiv zu erleben und die Aussichten zu genießen. Guide Vanina hat ihre Sache super gemacht. Konnte viel erzählen und ging, wo nötig, auf einem ein. Vielen Dank! BBQ bei einem Gaucho war etwas primitiv aber da darf man nicht so empfindlich sein. Essen hat ja gut geschmeckt. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen und abseits von Touristen. Wir haben unterwegs keinen anderen Menschen gesehen.
