A low light spills across the ridgelines as horses file out from the corral—each hoof tapping the packed dirt like a slow drum. Riders feel the rhythm of the animal beneath them and the wind pushing across open grasslands; the mountains of the Sierras Chicas hold views that reward steady pace rather than speed.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

A low light spills across the ridgelines as horses file out from the corral—each hoof tapping the packed dirt like a slow drum. Riders feel the rhythm of the animal beneath them and the wind pushing across open grasslands; the mountains of the Sierras Chicas hold views that reward steady pace rather than speed.
The two-day ride follows cattle tracks, country-lane switchbacks and summit knolls that have been worked by local ranches for generations. Geologically the Sierras Chicas are older, folded hills and outcrops that rise from Córdoba’s plains—rocky crests, gullied ravines and grazing plateaus offer changing panoramas within short distances. Culturally, guests step into gaucho life: simple rural hospitality, grilled criollo meals, and traditional music around the house in the evening.
Over the course of roughly six hours of riding each day, the route traverses interior ranchland and nearby mountain slopes, with time to learn tack handling and to find the mount that best fits each rider from a stable of about 28 horses. Evenings are spent at the country house in Agua de Oro with home-style meals and regional wine.
Practical guidance: be prepared for long saddle time—bring padded shorts or a gel seat, sunscreen, and layered clothing for temperature swings. The operator screens for weight and certain health conditions; this is suitable for experienced beginners to practiced riders who can manage several hours in the saddle. Bookings often include bottled water, lunches, and rain equipment, but pack personal medications and minimalist overnight gear if you request an upgrade to more private lodging.
Riding is planned for about 6 hours per day across two days, combining trail segments, short breaks and lunch; total saddle time is roughly 12 hours.
Not strictly—hosts have mounts for a range of abilities—but basic balance and comfort on a walking/trotting horse are recommended for full enjoyment.
The package includes lodging in a country house on the ranch with shared rooms and meals; private upgrades may be available on request.
Yes; traditional salami and homemade bread, roasted criollo with salad, bottled water, soda and wine are included during the stay.
