10/10 Experience- highly recommended ——————————————————— Highly knowledgeable instructor and horses -
A great day of riding beautiful horses through the town and lands of Carlos Keen. The host were friendly and attentive, the horses were well-mannered and trained, and the asado was delicious. The trails were easy and safe, and we were joined by dogs to make the ride extra special. I would highly recommend this to experience a day of typical Argentine-style riding at an easy and family friendly level.
Very nice day with Marcelo and some quiet and robust horses for different levels of riding knowledge.
We had an absolutely wonderful day. We were total horseriding beginners, but our guide Marcello taught us well and ensured a completely safe but also super enjoyable horseriding experience. We rode like 3.5 hours through the beautiful fields and town, and enjoyed in between a delicious, freshly prepared asado. Also the pickup and dropoff was well-organised, and very friendly. We can definitely 10/10 recommend this experience
Very enjoyable ride , good conversations and good food. The day was hot, I suggest bringing extra water although water was provided with a traditional BBQ. The horses were very friendly and easy enough for a complete beginner. Transportation to and from hotel or residence was provided and accomadtions were made for vegetarian diets. Great experience.
We had a wonderful day riding in the pampas. Marcella was an excellent host, friendly and knowledgeable. While riding we learned about the animals, crops, and plants that we were viewing. His life work is with Polo horses and it shows as his horses are well taken care of. The horses were very safe mounts and didn't spook when a barking dog or vehicle passed by. The Argentinian saddles were very comfortable. The barbecue with grass fed Argentinian beef was delicious and had flavor our grain fed beef lacks. If we return, we'd look into his overnight camping trip.
Fantastic day on beautiful horses. Our gaucho Marcello guided us on a ride around the countryside and could tell us a lot of interesting stories about Argentina and the surrounding area. We had a lovely bbq at Pablo and Marcello's - the sweetest and most warm-hearted people.
My Girlfriend and I wanted a Horseback riding day in the country, small group size, not watching dancing and singing shows and needed transportation from BA. We did not want all the tourist fluff. We got everything we wanted and more with this - we are so glad we went with this trip. The gauchos were great, genuine and very helpful - the horses were great as well - **Note - if you have experience horseback riding and think you might be marginal but not a pro - still say you have advanced experience when they ask you in horse selection - especially if you want to go fast - have a responsive horse etc. The Asado lunch they prepared was perfect - lots of wine and desert and Mate if requested. We had a nice couple from Cali with us and it was great conversation and a great time in general. There was another BA local woman that joined us that has ridden with them multiple times.. Return customers should tell you everything. Even the driver that picked us up was very good, arrived early, (only preferred Spanish so note that, my GF is fluent so a lot of them talking but he was very nice. Ya’ll this group was an easy 5 star and we would go with them again.
Such a terrific day. We really enjoyed our time with our guide, Marcelo. The horses were terrific too. It was quite muddy after a full day of rain the day before so we kept the ride slow. But it was a gorgeous day and really fun. Pablo had a wonderful lunch waiting for us during our lunch break. Highly recommended. This was great.
probably the best thing I did this month. if you dont go here you are basically missing chromosomes.
