Skiing In Patagonia 2013


If you have not yet ventured down to South America to ski then hesitate no longer … you’ll be amazed at what the Cordillera de los Andes has to offer and how easy the trip will be. Varied options cater for all levels of skiers and adventurers:

- arrangements for the varied choice of ski resorts (August and September are ideal)
- guided backcountry trips with hut to hut touring
- an onslaught of Patagonia’s numerous volcanoes: many lie in close proximity in the Lake District (our home), and are within easy reach in little time (October is ideal)
- guided backcountry trips with the option to ski mountains never skied before: plentiful unexplored territory

There is truly something for everyone wanting to explore skiing in South America (including a hot spring to jump into at the end of a long day!). Get in touch and we can send you details of what’s on offer according to your level or wishes. 

TWO Bariloche trips scheduled for this season 
- 9 day touring trip for toughies ... 
- 6 day luxury trip for those wishing to apres ski in style!

2012 Whale Season Memories

October 2012 seems a while ago now, bonus being that Whale Season 2013 approaches us sooner rather than later...

We enjoyed four days kayaking at a remote reserve, our man-powered vessels laden with food, wine and camping gear, granting us a ticket to another world, home to 18m long mothers and their calves, all for our own private viewing...

Our S.A.V.E. charity lottery trip on sale now will visit the very same special place, in addition to the luxuries of Eolo - a Relais & Chateax getaway at the southern Andes range, glaciers galore...

Season round up

What an amazing season we have had, new friends for life, both two and four-legged, an amazingly dry January with fantastic fishing and riding, and a rather more unsettled February. From Lago Argentino to Chilean volcanoes, from the depths of the Andes to the stunning Atlantic coast, we have had fun, fun and more fun in Patagonia.

What are you waiting for?


We offer both tailor made private and group rides, built into the holiday of a lifetime! If you are less-equestrian, join us for an unforgettable encounter with nature, to explore pristine nature and connect with one another whilst enjoying other activities ... this is OUR specialty -

Our mission: adventure, connection with our horses and one another, wild and immense landscapes, escape, space and starry skies, new culture and history and fantastic food. 
Our riding season begins with whale season at the Atlantic coast in October, and we begin riding nearer to and deeper into the mountains as the winter snow melts more and more from November onwards! Our season ends in April.

Whether you have a clear vision in mind of how you want your horse riding holiday in Argentina to be or your ideas are totally vague, do not hesitate to get in touch right away with any ideas you may have. We can then send you some useful suggestions and advice, rough itineraries in keeping with your timeframe, and detailed quotations according to your taste, entirely without obligation. 

From the moment you touch down in Buenos Aires, all of your arrangements will be taken care of. We provide a flawless and intimate bespoke equestrian holiday service which is unmistakably friendly, genuine and professional.
