Horseback Riding with Gauchos and Native Empanadas in Mendoza

About this experience

This experience takes place in Lunlunta, just 40 minutes south of the city of Mendoza.

Dazzling views and incredible landscapes lead us to this place, where the warmth of its people awaits us. Our Pingos guide us towards the river, enjoying the native flora and fauna, in the First Wine Zone, with unbeatable panoramic views of the Andes mountain range.

We will begin our day with the horseback ride, which lasts approximately 2 hours and then ends with a typical Creole lunch: empanadas, drinks and seasonal fruit.

Always accompanied by the Gauchos and the guide who will enjoy sharing the myths and legends of the place with us.

Things to do in Cuyo

Guide

  • The snow-streaked summit of Aconcagua rising above a dry Andean valley

    Guide

    Aconcagua, and what it takes to walk in

    At 6,961 m it is the highest mountain outside Asia, and most people who see it do so from a car park on Ruta 7. The trek to Confluencia and Plaza de Mulas is the honest middle ground.

  • Route 7 running west out of Uspallata between bare Andean ridges

    Guide

    The Alta Montaña road, Mendoza to the border

    Route 7 west out of Mendoza climbs 3,000 metres to the Chilean border past Potrerillos, Uspallata, Puente del Inca and the Aconcagua lookout. What to stop for, and what the day actually costs you.
