At the heart of this Patagonia horse trek is your guide, a seasoned local gaucho whose life is deeply rooted in these wild lands. More than just a leader on the trail, he is a storyteller, horseman, and guardian of traditions passed down through generations. With an intimate knowledge of the terrain, weather, and wildlife, he brings the journey to life in a way no one else can. Riding with him isn’t just about covering ground, it’s about experiencing Patagonia through the eyes of someone who calls it home.
Horse Trekking in Patagonia - World Expeditions
This trip is run by one of our local partners, on a departure shared with travellers from other companies.
What's the benefit to you? More departure dates, and dates that reach their minimum numbers sooner, because bookings from several companies go into one group. Your guides live and work in the region.
Who is in your group? Expect a mix of travellers and nationalities, not only people who booked with World Expeditions.
What will we tell you when you book? We advise the name of the local partner at the time of booking, along with any terms of their own, such as an additional deposit. These apply alongside our Booking Terms and Conditions.
Travelling alone? On some partner-operated trips your own room is required. The room options on this page show which applies to this trip.
Tucked deep in the wilderness, the camp offers four exclusive domes - each equipped with a private ensuite bathroom, hot shower, and panoramic views of the rugged Sierra Baguales.
Most of our horse treks require R2 Intermediate as a minimum.
You have been on a horse a handful of times. You can get a horse walking, steer it and stop it, and you can rise to the trot for a short stretch. Canter is either new to you or something you are still working on. Not suitable for our multi-day horse treks.
You are in control of a socialised horse at walk, trot and canter outside in a natural landscape and you can get on and off without help. You may not ride every week, but you don't need to think about riding basics. You have ridden in this environment several times in the past year.
You ride regularly now, out in open country rather than in an arena, and six or more hours in the saddle doesn’t worry you. You can rise or sit to the trot, hold a canter without gripping the saddle to stay put, and stay in control on a horse that would rather go faster - over uneven ground, with other horses around you. Recommended experience level for most horse treks.
You ride often, you’re fit, and you have an independent seat and quiet hands. You can control a forward-going or spirited horse at every pace, across rough and unpredictable country, and you’re comfortable galloping in company.
Fewer than four, talk to us before you book.
Your declared level is what your handler uses to choose your horse, and a mismatch can’t be fixed three days into the steppe. If you’re between levels, or coming back after time out of the saddle, call us.
Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.
If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.
It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.
You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.
If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.
Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.
Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.
Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
Yes. This trip requires prior riding experience and comfort riding for multiple hours on consecutive days.
Riding days are moderate to challenging, with long hours in the saddle and varied terrain including river crossings and open plains.
We ride sturdy, sure-footed horses accustomed to Patagonian terrain and long-distance travel.
Accommodation includes working estancias, shared cabins and a comfortable riverside lodge, all chosen for character and location.
The best season is during the Patagonian summer, when weather conditions are most stable for riding.
Yes. This is a fully guided horse trek led by experienced local gauchos and support staff.
