Expert in horseback riding vacations in Chile.
The Horse Riding Holidays concept is an extraordinary experience on the back of a purebred horse in Chile.

Destinations such as the Atacama Desert and the dreamy Araucanía forests are ideal for walking, trotting and galloping. More experienced riders can have more demanding adventures, where confidence, fitness, and the willingness to spend several days on the horse sometimes reward you with areas only accessible by horseback and the best vacation experience you can imagine.
Origins of the Chilean horse
The Chilean breed horse has been declared a Natural Monument. Although its origins date back to 1540, it was not until 1893 when the National Society of Agriculture officially inaugurated the only Genealogical Registry of the Chilean Horse that exists in the country, the only one in America and one of the oldest in the world.
The strength, verve and endurance of the Chilean horse is given by geography. The horse is cowboy, not very tall (height of a pony), thick neck and robust chest. It does not need special fodder during the crossings, and it can easily graze in the places that it travels together with travelers who enjoy its company.
