Description

Begin your adventure in El Calafate and travel to Estancia Alice, where your guides will provide safety equipment and introduce you to your horse for the Cerro Frias Horseback Riding Tour. No riding experience is necessary, as the horses are trained to accommodate both first-time riders and experienced equestrians.


The ascent along Cerro Frías’ trails takes you through native forests and open steppe, two ecosystems that define the character of Argentine Patagonia. From higher elevations, you'll enjoy unforgettable views of the Centinela River Valley and the Cristales Mountain Range. The return journey along the Winter Trail offers a peaceful conclusion that only horseback travel can provide.


At the end of the ride, the experience includes lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner depending on the departure time you choose, transforming a half-day activity into a complete Patagonian experience.


Group sizes are limited to ensure a high-quality experience, so be sure to check availability and book in advance, especially during peak season.
