Sunset horseback riding in Mendoza, Lunlunta. Andes views, a ~2-hour ride, and an Argentine asado dinner with round-trip transport.

“If in Mendoza this is a must. I’ve never ridden a horse before but Santiago was a brilliant guide and instructor and I loved the whole experience. The weather wasn’t on our side but it was still an incredible experience with lighting flashing in the distance and the sun peaking through the clouds. The food was incredible, Nico served us different variety of pork to start and then beef for main with vegetables. The beef was probably the best tasting I’ve ever had, amazing! Santiago was brilliant throughout and made the experience.”
