Full-Day Horse Ride Cerro Mirador

We will start the day having a delicious Magellanic breakfast by the seashore at peninsula Antonio Varas. Then we will go on a spectacular 2-hour long horseback trip to Cerro Mirador, to admire mountains, native vegetation and wildlife. Through mature lenga tree forests and peat bogs, we will slowly ascend towards the top of the hill. We will leave our horses behind to keep walking up to the summit, where you will have the opportunity to see the majestic Andean condors, 3-meter wingspan vultures than soar across the Patagonian skies.

Back at the estancia, after 2 more hours on horseback, you are gonig to be delighted by an organic Magellanic lunch after which you can continue to explore the ranch surroundings, getting to know the history of these pioneer people.

Besides enjoying breathtaking views, and wildlife in its wildest state, you will spend one day living by the estancia people, trying their typical food and traditions.
