We will travel through history with the help of our horses. We have unique journeys available which vary from 1 to 14 days, going through places no other tourists have been. We work with local guides who live and know the customs of our pioneers. We have the tools and the local clothing of our Patagonian gauchos, to make you feel at home. The places we will visit are old ‘puestos’ (a gaucho hut) and houses in which still today pioneers live who dedicate their lives to take care of their animals during different seasons of the year. As part of the adventure we will enjoy some good ‘mates’ (a type of tea which has a special traditional community etiquette), homemade ‘tortas fritas’ (small fried breads) and a typical ‘asado al palo’ (a traditional lamb barbeque). If you like horseback riding, we will organize an adventure to your needs.

This is a historic trip made by the first settlers of the area. Formerly used to move and arrive with their provisions to Villa O'Higgins, as well as to move their products to other locations, mainly herds of Bagual cattle. We begin our trip at the latitude of the Calluqueo glacier moving through forests of Lengas, rivers and the characteristic passage of this area the “Paso de la Picota”. Afterward, we go through the headwaters of the Bravo river and others to reach lake Alegre, where we usually have a day of rest for you and the horses. There we will have time to fish or take a walk. We continue along Lake Christie to the Mayer passageway to reach Villa O'Higgins.This is a historic trip made by the first settlers of the area.
