He made sure we were comfortable and confident as first time riders. The horses were very well behaved. We learned not only how to ride but also about the local culture and environment. The wine and cheese snack board at the end was the perfect way to cap it off- a thoughtfully-chosen selection of the best regional products. This tour stands out as one of the best guided tours I've ever taken anywhere. Gracias Joaquin y Ecordua!”

The horses were friendly and our guide, Therese, who owned the stables was great to talk to. A native of the US, she’s been in chile for decades and shared lots of information about the area. Later we had some wine and cheese in the barn. We also enjoyed meeting the stable cats (Nacho, specifically) and our guide dog, Max.”
