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

Description

📍 What is this experience?

  • 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.
