This was the highlight of...
Katie_Q, October 2026
This was the highlight of our entire trip. Stella and her family/friends are top-notch: the friendliest, kindest people we felt so lucky to meet and support their family-owned, ethical operation. The scenery was incredible and we ate the best asado of our entire trip. Can't recommend this more, I hope we get to come back!

Stunning ride and delicious food
Jacqulyne_V, October 2026
The horses are very calm and sweet. The trip is amazing. Very bumpy so expect to be sore the next day but the view at the summit is worth every penny and every achy bottom. Stella and Luis put on an amazing asado. Thank you

Incredible experience
zephym, October 2026
We had an absolutely incredible experience horseback riding with this tour. Pick up was seamless and we were taken straight to the ranch, which is a beautiful setting. Stella and her family are so welcoming and made the whole trip so personal. We had tea and pastries to start, then were introduced to our horses. The ride was breathtaking and the horses so good at what they do! The views from the top of the mountain at sunset was amazing. Then to top it all off we were served the best meal that we’ve had in South America, a traditional Asado. The meat just kept coming and coming - we would have paid what we paid for the meal alone! The vegetarian option was incredible also. Do not hesitate to book! One of our favourite experiences.

I have to say this was...
Ana_V, October 2026
I have to say this was one of the best experiences I had in Argentina. Everyone was so welcoming. The ride was amazing (beautiful views) and all the horses very gentle, so good for non-experienced riders. After the ride, the family of the farm make us an amazing dinner (they even did a vegetarian option for a girl in our group which I thought that was a very thoughtful gesture). Our group got along really well so we had an amazing time. If I come back, I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended! Thanks everyone at the farm!

A must-do in Mendoza 10/10
K2664RAanniet, September 2026
One of my days out, ever! Everything communicated really well with pick up/drop off at my hotel. Stella is a warm and welcoming host from the moment you arrive. I have ridden horses for many years but others in the group had never ridden a horse, so they chose the route well to please everyone. The guides were great at encouraging first-timers on their calm and sure footed horses. The scenery/views are stunning and such a unique way to explore this part of the world. The food at the end was just what was needed and cooked to perfection, with wine and lemonade on the table: chorizo, beef and pork were served with the most deliciously melting potatoes, peppers, salad, bread and Chimichuri/salsa. Cannot fault it. A fabulous experience with a great group of strangers.
