🐎 Horseback Riding in El Chaltén with Patagonian Lunch — Estancia Bonanza

  • A day horseback riding through forests, hidden lakes and the silence of the mountains

    The horse steps firmly on the mallín. The air smells of wet language and living mountains. In the distance, the Fitz Roy peeks out of the clouds. You're not seeing a postcard. You're inside it.

    This is how this journey begins on horseback through corners that are not on the maps. You leave early from El Calafate and stop at     La Leona, a haven of history and hot coffee on Route 40. From there, the road continues to El Chaltén and the Estancia Bonanza, where the real experience begins.

    You ride and ride during     2 hours For the Canadon de la Vizcacha, crossing meadows, forests of ñires and lengas, and viewpoints that seem to have been drawn. Your horse carries you calmly, step by step, as if it knew every stone along the way (because it knows them).

    You arrive at     La Lita Lagoon, a jewel hidden in the mountains. You go down, take a deep breath, and walk up for a few minutes to the Mirador de la Laguna Condor. From there, you understand everything: the immensity, the silence, the beauty.

    While the fire is being prepared, you will rest in the shelter. And then it's time for     Patagonian lunch, served with wine and with the calm of knowing that there is no hurry, no notifications, no more world than this.
