Rancho Viejo Horseback Riding

Rancho Viejo Horseback Riding

The best views of the Andes mountain range can be appreciated in this horseback ride in Rancho Viejo. An ideal excursion to leave behind the noise of the city and be part of Mendoza’s landscapes.

In a private vehicle just for you and your travel companions we will get to Maipú, the first wine region of Mendoza. In this circuit through Lunlunta, we will visit the “ranch” located in a privileged area. It consists of a farm with more than 100 hectares. We will be able to ride on horseback through the different fields and its vineyards, olive groves, fruit and vegetable plantations.

Our tour will start very early in the morning to get to “Rancho Viejo” where all the equipment will be waiting for us and the best guide of our specialized “baqueanos”.

In this outing we will be able to connect with Malbec and Cabernet plantations, as well as with the traditions and customs of the people. After a brief tour through the vineyards, the horseback ride will take the trails that border the Mendoza River, which will take us to the foot of the foothills, to appreciate the different peaks of the mountain range known as “El Cordón del Plata”.

This experience is designed as an exclusive activity for the whole family, where we can find harmony with nature and wildlife. Everything that an engine and a horsepower can give us. Get ready to reach places where no machine can take you. 

Mendoza is a desert, and water is essential for its development and sustainability. That’s why we at SAK Wine & Travel are committed to its protection and responsible use in every journey we plan. We know that sustainable tourism is the way forward—a way to build a better world that respects people and their environment. By traveling with us, you are joining our commitment to sustainability.
