Horse ride
Description
Experience in detail
Welcome to our horse riding tour with Ecordua.
We’re thrilled to take you on a journey to the northeast of Santiago, where we’ll discover the wonders of native flora and fauna while enjoying unbeatable views.
Our team will introduce you to the “arrieros”, who will join us through the day and show you the authentic rural countryside of Chile.
This experience is not only a horse riding tour but also a class that focuses on the safety and technique of mountain trail riding.
Our experienced instructors will provide you with all the necessary safety equipment, including helmets, saddles, and implements, which we constantly check.
Additionally, we carry a first aid kit and a satellite communication device in case of emergency.
This horse riding tour is adaptable for all levels and needs.
Whether you are a beginner or a professional rider, we will make sure that you have a wonderful time.
You will connect with your horse, learn about the “Chilean gaucho” culture, and enjoy a fun day with your fellow riders.
Our mission is to provide you with a 100% authentic experience that will be a lifetime memory.
At the beginning of the tour, we will teach you how to take care of horses and ride safely on mountain trails.
Along the way, you will learn about Chile’s geography, flora, and fauna, and establish a unique bond with your horse.
After 1-1.5 hours going up, where we will cross a native forest of the central zone, we will arrive at a viewpoint to have a picnic and take in the stunning scenery.
In summary, this is an experience that combines adventure, nature, and culture.
It’s a “must-do” for horse lovers, nature enthusiasts, and anyone looking for an authentic experience in Chile.
Come join us, and let’s create an unforgettable memory together.
The ride total lasts 2.5-3.5 hours round trip, but it is adaptable for all levels and needs.
