Argentina - horseback rides with real gauchos

Esquina, Argentina Horseback Riding

Active Adventure

Our horseback adventures pay homage to the age-old traditions of the gaucho, the indigenous herdsmen of the Argentinian Pampas. Our horse-riding showcase the magic and spirit of the Corrientes gaucho of the past, present and the future.

What you are bound to enjoy is the estancia lifestyle, the direct contact with the gauchos, their horses, customs, traditions and, of course, their tasty cuisine.

These horse-riding treks will take you through unique and unforgettable landscapes, marshes, lagoons, pampas, woods, islands and undergrowth - kilometers of paths free of people and houses.
