This was an incredible and authentic experience that will stay with me forever. If you really want to experience some of the most amazing views in Santiago, this is your way to do it. I loved seeing the other animals grazing the mountains. My horse was patient and gentle, and my guides — Joaquin, Orlando and Max the dog — were ideal hosts and companions on this journey. The wine, snacks and conversation after were the perfect end to this amazing journey. As a solo female traveler in a foreign country, I felt very safe and taken care of. The hotel pickup/drop off was seamless and Joaquin picked me up right on time and had me back exactly when promised. I hope to return and join them for another adventure some day! Well worth every dollar!
