Horse Riding Tour in the Andes Santiago Chile

This was an amazing trip! I went on this tour with a friend of mine who doesn’t like nature and this was one of her favorite things we did! She had never ridden a horse and she even managed to trot! I got to gallop on my horse and it was amazing!

They provide helmets, chaps and water..trainers are fine. Instructions brief but clear. Just relax and enjoy these very clever, kind healthy horses.

So much fun! This was an incredible experience. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santiago. The views are amazing. The hotel pickup was very convenient too.

Our driver, Lautaro, was punctual, friendly and informative about Chile. At the riding stable (only about 25 minutes from Providencia) we were given protective leggings and a helmet, and enough instruction for beginners. Led by our guides Mario and Andrea (who speaks excellent English) we then rode a full 2.5 hours up into the hills, pausing occasionally for water or to take photos. You overlook Santiago, but are far enough away from the city that it is completely peaceful. On the way we saw wild rabbits, a fox, many birds of prey, and (perhaps unusually) a condor. A few times Mario led us in a fast trot - the ground is mostly quite soft, and not too rough. After the riding, the picnic part of the tour wasn’t available so Lautaro took us for award-winning empanadas, and (unexpected treat) a visit to a notably good craft market where we bought all the gifts & souvenirs that we wanted from our visit to Chile. If you want a good half-day riding experience, we’d recommend this tour.

Our horseback ride was a wonderful experience during our week‑long stay in Chile. Juan arrived right on time at the hotel to pick us up, and he was very professional and kind. His knowledge of the local pre‑Columbian history was truly impressive. When we arrived at the farm, we were welcomed by Lawrence, our guide. Our group was small, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Lawrence was very patient with us, especially since for some people it was their first time riding a horse. He explained how to maneuver the horse, reviewed safety guidelines, and shared the history of the area. He guided us from the lower grounds to the higher areas in the mountains, carefully navigating tight curves and dense vegetation. I truly appreciated the excellent work done by Lawrence at the farm. After the ride, Juan picked us up and took us to the village of Los Dominicos, which was a wonderful experience overall. The price for the activity was also quite decent, making it even more worthwhile.

This tour is pretty nice! The view is beautiful from the mountains, but there is no picnic and use a lot of sunscreen, as the sun is relentless. However, it is worth it, the contact with the place, the horses and the percussion!

Beautiful views. Great horses. Kind and patient guides. I was able to even get to a gallop! A first for me! I would recommend this tour for any experience level.

Highlight of our trip! The horseback ride was amazing with beautiful views of Santiago. Juanito and Mario made safety a top priority, providing helmets and matching each rider with the right horse. Clear instructions were given for hills, making it easy to enjoy. Perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike!

Our day started with a hotel pick up from our guide, Lautaro. Lautaro was a fantastic guide, we had only arrived in Chile the day before and Lautaro gave us so much information about food in Santiago, Chilean history and how to stay safe. This made the drive to the ranch very worthwhile. Lautaro then came along for the horse ride so that he could translate for the ranch manager. They definitely take safety very seriously. On our day there was a slight bit of rain, and the owner said if there is heavy rain it would become to unsafe and he’d need to cancel. That made us really comfortable that they put safety first over making money. We were very lucky, the heavy rain held off and we enjoyed a great ride. The horses are really well behaved and calm, catering to all skill levels. The saddles were also really comfortable.
