Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with a horseback ride through a charming ranch located in Cañuelas, only an hour’s drive from Buenos Aires. This experience offers the ideal opportunity to reconnect with the great outdoors!
Argentinian Equestrian Adventure
Situated just beyond the limits of Cañuelas, this ranch presents a delightful backdrop for a soothing horseback journey through picturesque lands. The expansive area, which includes a delightful country house alongside a meticulously maintained botanical garden crafted by the esteemed landscaper Benito Carrasco, sets the stage for an enchanting ride.
Your adventure begins with an introduction to the captivating realm of Argentinian horses, where you'll learn about their breeding, training, and the attentiveness provided for their care. If you're not familiar with the process of saddling, there's no need for concern; guidance will be provided.
The riding path will be tailored to suit the skill levels within the group. Novice riders will learn the fundamentals of equestrianism before enjoying a relaxing ride through the ranch. Meanwhile, intermediate and advanced riders will have the opportunity to undertake a more demanding ride across the open Argentine pampas.
Concluding the excursion, the horseback ride will return to the ranch’s stables, where riders can reflect on their journey amidst stunning landscapes.
Lunch at the Ranch
If you select the lunch option, a delightful meal will be served following the horseback adventure at the ranch.
The menu features Argentine empanadas as appetizers, a traditional asado (barbeque), offering various cuts complemented by a fresh salad for the main course, with a selection of dessert or coffee to finish. Beverages include mineral water or soft drinks, along with a glass of either red or white wine for each guest.
