Andean Horseback Riding

Andean Horseback Riding

The tour starts from Viña del Mar or Santiago to go to the city of Los Andes. Continue the trip on the international road that leads to Mendoza. We will pass through beautiful mountain ranges and picturesque towns that surrounded by mountains and rivers give a spectacular setting to so much landscape. Then we arrive to Río Blanco where the cavalcade begins and goes to the Mirador de la Compañía. It is a ride through mountain valleys accompanied by typical muleteer in the middle of a spectacular mountain landscape.

Experience the beauty of the Chilean coastal mountains of Valparaiso on this full-day trek to the summit of the Cerro La Campana mountain, 1,828 meters above sea level.

At 07:00, depart from your hotel in Valparaiso or Viña del Mar. Enter La Campana National Park, a UNESCO-declared Biosphere Reserve. On the ascent to the top of the mountain, walk along unspoiled trails, passing mountain streams, impressive hillsides and primal oak forests. Get to know the flora of this mountain region and enjoy the fresh air and surrounding native plants and trees.

At the highest point of the trek, at the summit of the Cerro La Campana, enjoy a fantastic clear view on the Andes and Aconcagua (depending on the weather conditions). Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin during his 1834 excursion as you take in the impressive landscapes.

Return to your hotel at approximately 16:30.
