Disconnect from time and civilization. Feel the here and now.

Meet the gauchos, souls of the landscapes along with their dogs and horses.

Seize the chance to ride untiring native horses across pampas, forests, and mountains.

Learn about self-sufficiency. Live the essential.

Be prepared for the unexpected.

Overcome your limits.

Connect with nature, defy the elements.

Realize the simplicity of happiness.

Learn how to communicate with horses and to handle them.

TAKE A RIDE ON THE WILD SIDE.

30 minutes from Puerto Natales, Chilean Patagonia, we will explore beautiful open fields on horseback and discover the local culture.

Before leaving for a half or a full day ride, we teach you how to communicate with our beloved horses and how to handle them safely. Sharing a 'mate' tea or a tasty 'asado' barbecue with local meats is adding flavor to these unforgettable moments.

Entering the herd of horses in the round pen, learning about the taming process, about horse care, discovering gaucho equipment, the amazing working dogs, participate in ranch work as driving cattle between summer and winter fields, sleeping in a remote "puesto", making bread together...

There is always something to experiment in wild Patagonia!

GAUCHO CULTURE

For centuries, the gauchos have been taking care of cows and sheep in the most remote and wild areas, living for months in simple conditions, with their loyal horses and dogs as companionship.

No matter what the weather is, a gaucho wakes up early every day to set fire, have his first mate and prepare his meal, which will be slowly cooked while he is outside, taking care of the animals and premises.

They are solitary souls with millions of stories.

The local gauchos will be protagonists of your journey with us.

					Best Horseback Ride Ever!  – I’ve had the privilege of horseback riding in incredible destinations around the world—USA, Iceland, China—but this was truly the best experience I’ve ever had. From the very beginning, arranging everything… read more with Charlotte was seamless; all the policies and information were clear, and the process was effortless.

Upon arrival, it was immediately evident how much care and attention the horses receive—they are truly cherished. The ride itself was breathtaking, with views of the tour and rolling meadows. Enrique did an exceptional job accommodating the diverse experience levels within our group. This was far from the typical ‘walk-in-a-line’ trail ride. Even our most timid beginner, initially apprehensive about horses, ended the ride smiling and completely at ease!

I cannot express enough positive things about this ranch. The memories made here will forever be treasured as part of the trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much to Galope Austral for the best horseback riding experience ever!
