Unique experience - We were a family of five, and none of us had ever ridden a horse before. Honestly, we didn’t know what to expect — but it turned out to be an absolute dream. From the very beginning, the experience was magical. The landscape was breathtaking, the horses were beautiful and gentle, and everything felt so peaceful and special. Despite being complete beginners, we truly felt like real riders. It was such an empowering and unforgettable feeling.

Excellent guides 👏 Very nice experience! - Surprised by the very high level, both the guide who took us to the ride, Facundo, and the guys who guided the horseback tour. The level of professionalism, perfect English, the sympathy, respect and charisma of Marcos and both Facundos, made the experience of riding the hill even more beautiful. It is a pride that in a place that so many tourists from abroad visit, we have such a high level of guides.

Horse riding paradise! - Today we had a fabulous horse ride on Cerro Frias. We were very lucky with the weather - sun shining and low wind, so it was a perfect morning for a ride. The views are spectacular, we saw quite a bit of wildlife, and generally had a great time. Diego and Facunda looked after us very well, shared lots of info about the area, were very supportive of the novice riders, and made it a fun trip, as well as taking some photos for us as we ride along. I rode General and my husband rode Prince, both excellent mounts who were calm, steady and sure-footed. We were a group of six riders plus our guides. A good number for getting plenty of attention and support. The lunch that followed was yummy and sustaining.

Amazing experience! - We did the ride on Cerro Frias, overlooking Lake Argentino. Glorious. And the good vibes of the boys made it a 10.

Come for the horse riding and leave before the meal is served. - The horse riding part of our experience was great. The cowboys were friendly and the horses well natured and knew where they were going so experience wasn’t necessary at all. 5 out of 5 for that part of the trip. Dinner on the other hand was very underwhelming. For an estacion with cattle I expected more than lentil soup that needed seasoning, chewy lamb stew and overcooked brownie. Then menu isn’t complicated so it really needs to be cooked well.
