The sideboard is laid with a
bounty of lunch dishes
Steaks sizzle for the
lunch at the gauchos barn
The gaucho at Caballadas
know every trail through
the estancia
Evening wine as violet
shadows color the
scenery at the Lodge at
Caballadas
and sweets spread out beside a stream up in
the Araucaria Araucana (Monkey Puzzle tree)
forest shading a remote gaucho camp.
Santiago will create bespoke rides for you too.
Expect to ride 6 hours or more a day. The vistas
are all inspiring; snow-topped mountains,
pristine lakes, rivers to cross, overnight horse
camping, and adrenaline shifting gallops
through the grasses. All make coming home
to a hot shower and beautiful evening meal
that much sweeter. Caballadas can take a
maximum of 8 riders at a time on the estancia.
Availability is seasonal and runs November to
mid-December, and through March and April.
Remembering that South American seasons
are opposite the northern hemisphere means
Caballadas is open during Spring and Fall to
those of us arriving from North America.
