PSA: Piedra Pintada

10 day expedition


The number of participants is limited to 10 in order to render the best possible personalized attention to maintain the excellence and quality of our services.

This type of expeditions is unique in view of the landscape into which they are carried out, travelling across places still to be discovered. All our guides are fully qualified to render excellent services to all the participants and are capable of communicating in English and Spanish. The season basically starts between November and April.

We depart from San Martín de los Andes in our vehicle, were our clients are received. Then we travel to Piedra Pintada Resort ( www.piedrapintada.com.ar) by the lake of the same name, in Villa Pehuenia. From here we begin to have a unique experience. The horses and the rest of the gear is waiting for us ready to initiate the trip. Day after day we shall promenade along valleys, mountains and water courses. We shall be riding on horseback between 6 to 8 hours a day.


At night, we shall bivouac in modern mountain tents, each of which shall accommodate four people..Horse riding does not pose any major difficulty, sex, age or physical fitness restrictions of any kind nor it requires exceptional horsemanship abilities.
