Tim and everyone on the Ranch was amazing

Published on Dec, 2024

This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Our guide Tim was incredibly cool and fun to spend time with. He taught us a ton about to the area and the nature we saw on the way. The food was amazing authentic and I would do this entire tour again in a heartbeat. I very very very highly recommend.

Fantastic!

Published on Jan, 2024

Fantastic experience riding through the Andes. Would highly recommend as the staff is beyond friendly, brings lovely conversation, and, of course, teaches you about local culture. As for the riding itself, it was an unforgettable experience with beautiful views… plus, the asado was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Most memorable experience of the trip!

Published on Nov, 2023

This was the most fun and memorable experience my husband and I did on my 30th birthday trip to Argentina! Matt was a great lead and Daniel really gave us an authentic encounter with the natural wonders of Gaucho and ranch life. We got to have a little breakfast and tea before we took off on our sweet horses, rode for a perfect amount of time through the mountains, stopped for lunch that Daniel prepared (an incredible array of steaks, veggies, and Malbec!), and then headed back to our hotel in Mendoza. We will remember this day forever. This is a must do if you are traveling to Mendoza!

Gaucho Day

Published on Nov, 2023

Fantastic experience in the mountains. The ranch is in a beautiful location and the trek is amazing. The horses are extremely well-trained and it's easy to follow the trail. Tim was an excellent guide and Daniel cooks great asado!

Incredible day worth every penny

Published on Nov, 2023

A truly amazing experience - a friendly and knowledgeable guide (Matias), a thoughtful and well planned itinerary and an unbeatable visit to the beautiful mountains! This was worth every penny - a small group meaning that it felt intimate but big enough to make friends, and the horse ride into the mountains and back was beyond expectations. Then the food, some of the best food we’ve ever eaten cooked over a stone fire in the middle of nowhere. An absolute must do and would rate even higher if we could!
