What to expect

On the half day trek, starting on our ranch, we ride on single trails in pastures, along the LIucura river and into the forest of the Carhuello mountain range. On this ride we combine narrow trails in lush forest with riding on open meadows and along a wild river. In many parts we enjoy great views over three volcanoes: Villarrica, Quetrupillan and Lanin. On our way we have a stop at a small but stunningly beautifull waterfall. On this ride we usually go walking, trotting, cantering and galloping, but start quite slow so everyone gets used to his horse and the other way round: horses get used to you. We have a weight limit of 80 kilos for our riders. Only suitable for experienced riders, to enjoy this ride you should have experience in riding mountains as the trail is partially steep. As a novice you will have a great time on our two hours ride.
