Tour Plan
San Carlos de Bariloche
After hotel pickup, travel by air-conditioned coach for about an hour east of Bariloche and head to Puesto La Fragua de Estancia San Ramon (San Ramón Ranch).
Estancia San Ramón - La Fragua
One of the oldest working ranches in the area, San Ramón Ranch spans 62,000 acres (25,000 hectares) into the foothills of the Argentine Andes. When you arrive, you’ll notice cattle and sheep roaming the grasslands. Follow your guide to an old countryside school converted into the ranch’s eating area, located below one of the largest condor nesting rocks in the region. You might just see one of these impressive creatures soaring high in the sky. Inside the former school, ranch staff welcomes you with a light breakfast of sweets, coffee, juice, and mate tea. Next, mosey over to the stables for a safety briefing and be paired up with a horse that matches your riding experience. This tour is suitable for both beginners and more experienced riders; you'll learn some horseback riding techniques from your expert guide who leads the way on a 2-hour journey into the Andes foothills. Pass a picturesque lake and ride through transition forests before reaching the Patagonian steppe. Keep your eyes peeled for condors, pink flamingos, black-necked swans, guanacos, rheas and deer. Your guide explains the geological sights, plants, and wildlife you see along the way. After your horseback ride, return to the ranch and dig into a 3-course lunch featuring Argentine asado (see below for a sample menu). The feast of traditional barbecued meats comes with an open bar of wine, soft drinks, and mineral water. Then, enjoy transport back to your Bariloche hotel. Please note: If you select the afternoon tour, you will start off with lunch, then the horseback ride, and end with snacks consisting of sweets, coffee, juice, and mate tea.

We had an enjoyable day horseback riding in the scenic landscapes around San Carlos de Bariloche, where the mountains seemed to stretch endlessly. The tranquility of the ride allowed us to connect with nature, and we particularly appreciated the attentive guides who shared insights about the area. One small drawback was that the horses felt a bit rushed at times, which made some parts a little less relaxing than we hoped for. However, the traditional Argentine asado made up for it; the flavors were delightful and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Overall, it was a memorable experience that blended adventure and culture beautifully.

Our day exploring the stunning landscapes on horseback exceeded our expectations, especially as we rode through lush valleys and admired the majestic peaks in the distance. The guides were welcoming and shared fascinating insights about the region’s culture, making the experience even richer. The highlight was definitely the traditional Argentine asado; savoring perfectly grilled meats while taking in the breathtaking views was unforgettable. However, we felt the riding portion could have been a bit longer to fully soak in the scenery. Overall, this adventure was a lovely blend of nature, culture, and delicious food that we would highly recommend!

Experiencing the horseback riding adventure in the scenic landscapes near San Carlos de Bariloche was a true family highlight. The trails led us through lush forests and stunning vistas of the mountains, with the iconic Cerro Campanario peeking through the clouds, adding to the charm of our ride. We savored a delicious traditional asado afterward, immersing ourselves in Argentine culture while enjoying the fragrant grilled meats that filled the air. One minor drawback was the initial pacing of the ride, which felt a bit rushed at times, especially for our younger ones. Nevertheless, the overall journey was a fantastic way to connect with nature and each other, making it a family memory we’ll cherish.
