Horseback Riding And Lunch At El Pico Ranch

In the charming town of Tupungato, nestled in the Province of Mendoza, you'll find "El Pico Palma", an estancia that, thanks to its prime location at 2,000 meters above sea level, provides an unparalleled experience in the heart of the Andes Mountains. This exclusive enclave, known as the "La Carrera" Valley, serves as a haven of serenity, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Cordón del Plata and the Precordillera.

Upon arrival at the estancia around 11 am, you can indulge in exclusive two-hour horseback rides on premium criollo horses, complete with traditional saddles and tack. This experience allows you to explore the expansive estate grounds in complete privacy, offering breathtaking views and landscapes that appear to be plucked from a dream. Alternatively, you have the option to take a scenic walk instead of horseback riding. As you traverse the land, condors, foxes, hares, and a remarkable variety of birds will accompany you.

After the horseback adventure, we will welcome you back with a delightful tasting of homemade empanadas paired with high-altitude wines. Lunch features a delectable criollo barbecue, showcasing select meats, fresh salads, clay oven-baked vegetables, and a selection of regional desserts.

Post-lunch, the tranquil setting invites relaxation: enjoy contemplative walks or simply unwind while admiring the majesty of the mountains. The afternoon concludes with a tea and coffee service accompanied by homemade pastries, ensuring a perfect finale to an unforgettable day.
