In northern Patagonia’s Nahuel Huapi National Park, about 1000 kms south of Buenos Aires. The route explores the northern part of the National Park, north of Bariloche and the Nahuel Huapi Lake, between Lago Traful and Lago Falkner.
The Nahuel Huapi National Park is one of Argentina’s oldest and most beautiful. Its landscape of snow capped mountains, turquoise rivers and lakes is superb and the northern area you ride through is pristine and untouched. Riding terrain varies from gentle grassy plains surrounded by high mountains, to harsh scree slopes and jagged rocks with breathtaking views. Nights are in a comfortable tented base camp, simple mobile ‘fly’ camps and a converted gaucho farmstead, blending safari-level comfort with traditional gaucho style.
Anyone wanting to see Patagonia’s wilderness and experience its traditional gaucho lifestyle. If you’ve enjoyed the professionalism of an African safari, think of this as the South American equivalent! Jakob was a riding safari guide in Kenya and has brought this expertise back to his native Argentina. These are fun and adventurous rides but with a level of comfort that remote ‘back country’ trips can lack. The riding pace is generally slow – you are riding in the mountains – but with rivers to negotiate, a high pass to cross and whatever else the day brings, there’s plenty of make the adrenaline rush. Participants need a reasonable level of riding experience and a steady head for heights, but to enjoy Patagonia at its scenic and cultural best, this is the ride we’d choose.
The area is jaw-droppingly beautiful and these rides are an unbeatable mix of spectacular views, pumping adrenalin, superb hospitality, tremendous fun and that extra bit of gaucho style! Authentic gaucho with safari detail – the combination is spot on!
