Excellent walk, better from Mendoza. 100% service. Very nice place.
We had a super nice horseback ride. Hugo took us to the mountains from where we could see the valley and the mountain range in the background. The views were a dream! Then, upon returning, we ate some delicious meat empanadas with a glass of wine and flan for dessert. Highly recommendable! We loved the entire program!
Very nice horseback ride with options to gallop. Followed by a delicious barbecue and good wines. The people who organized it were very friendly and flexible.
I loved every moment of this activity. They were so lovely, warm and welcoming and the horses were beautiful. The food was amazing too. I’ve recommended this to some friends coming to Mendoza in a month too. I’d be back every day if I could!
Gilda and the team is very welcoming and gave a great experience. Horses and saddles are gentle and comfortable. The view at the ranch is gorgeous. Argentina empanadas and the Malbec and bbq are amazing!
Great experience, we went up the hill with the horses with beautiful views. The horses are nice, calm but also reactive to gallop if wanted. The bbq was very nice and the service as well.
We had such a wonderful experience with Gilda at her family ranch. From the moment we arrived, her warmth and hospitality stood out - it truly felt like being welcomed into someone’s home rather than a commercial experience. My sister and I arrived absolutely freezing on a chilly day, and Gilda immediately took care of us, providing warm jackets and hats so we could properly enjoy the day. It was such a thoughtful touch and set the tone for everything that followed. The horse riding itself was fantastic - peaceful, scenic, and a perfect way to experience the surroundings. Afterwards, we were treated to an incredible homemade asado, cooked over the fireplace. Every dish was delicious, clearly made with care, and paired beautifully with an excellent selection of wines. I would highly recommend Gilda’s ranch to anyone looking for a memorable and heartfelt experience.
It was a bit of a drive to get there but definitely worth it! The hosts were friendly, the horses well mannered and the scenery is beautiful. The food that was served was amazing! A great experience that I would highly recommend.
This was our first time ever riding a Horse and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. We took a steady route and allowed us to gain confidence on horseback! We had amazing views despite the cloud and would love to return ! We then went back to the house and enjoyed canapés, empanadas and a delicious barbecue with some home made delicious red wine! This experience was everything! It was private, relaxed and let us get out into nature exploring a new area in a way we never have before! You must do it!
Quite nice Reception and great welcome with the Horses ready to jump Thankyou for Tour and conversations!
