The 12 Best Chile Horseback Riding Tours

1.Private Horseback Adventure in the Andes, with Picnic & Wine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $278Our pick

Ride gentle Criollo horses through the Andes near Santiago, then enjoy a picnic, Chilean wine, mountain views, and hotel transfers.

“This was EXCELLENT. We were in a tour of two other couples--which apparently was one of the largest tours they had done for a while. We had an excellent trail ride through the hills with an incredibly knowledgeable guide Juane who spoke perfect English and was full of really interesting facts about the area. The lunch was simple and delicious, and everything was capped off with a great glass of wine. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour--probably the best part of our 12 day Chile trip. One slight word of warning, though--the description says no horseback riding experience needed, but I would argue that more experience on horses is better…”

“No hay recorrido vinicola, no fuimos al río, los caballos sucios, nos llevaron a casa de una persona que no venia en el itinerario y la verdad no está agradable, muy sucio todo. La gente muy amable pero venden algo completamente diferente a lo que en realidad dan. La verdad no lo recomiendo nada. Lo único de calidad la parrillada”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · 1 day · from $360

Review of Puerto Natales horse riding to the mountains, with horse care, river crossings, picnic lunch, condors, and Paine Massif views.

“This was the happiest day of my 20-day trip to South America! Lynn is an incredibly special instructor—she does much more than just teach you how to ride a horse! We started with breathing, relaxing, and tuning into our senses. She said the horse would choose me, rather than assigning one to me—and something magical happened. A horse named Plata walked up to me. We hugged and kissed, and became the best friends and partners for the day. Lynn guided me through forests and across rivers, explaining the local animals and plants along the way. She even prepared a homemade picnic lunch to take along. In that moment, Patagonia belonged…”
