Experience the gaucho culture in Mendoza with horseback riding, traditional barbecue, and live guitar music.

Description

A deep immersion into gaucho culture, designed for travelers who want to disconnect from the city and reconnect with the authentic.
We pick you up from your hotel in Mendoza and head to a rural outpost where the horses are already saddled and waiting for you. You will ride, gallop for over 2 hours, and enjoy a natural environment that seems frozen in time.
Upon returning to the outpost, an Argentine barbecue with wine awaits you, accompanied by live folk music. We dress you in a poncho and beret so you are not just a spectator, but a living part of history.

🐎 Guided horseback ride of 2 to 2:30 h
Ride safely and freely, even if you have never ridden a horse before. Pre-ride instructions + expert guidance.
🧢 Dress like a gaucho
You will receive a poncho and a beret upon arrival, to experience the culture from your body and heart.
🔥 Countryside barbecue under the open sky
Steak, ribs, sausages, salads, wine, and tradition on every plate. There is also a veggie option (stuffed squash) and vegan.
🎶 Live music and authentic after-dinner conversation
Folk guitar, shared stories, and a night that is felt more than told.
🍷 All-inclusive
Round-trip transportation, food, beverages (wine, water, and soda), expert bilingual guide, insurance, and genuine hospitality.
