Description
The horseback riding with lunch or dinner at Estancia Bonanza is the ideal half-day alternative to combine an equestrian adventure with the Patagonian gastronomy of El Chalten. The excursion stands out for its 1.5-hour guided horseback ride crossing majestic valleys and trails that offer unforgettable panoramic postcards of the mountain range peaks. At the end of the ride, you will enjoy a gastronomic experience at El Establo Restaurant with a traditional menu of Patagonian lamb roasted on a spit.
The excursion begins by departing in the morning or afternoon with the included transfer from downtown El Chalten to Estancia Bonanza, a historic corner located 12 km from the city. Upon arrival, the natural environment will welcome you with perfect postcards of the mountain range.
The first part of the tour consists of a guided horseback ride lasting an hour and a half, covering an approximate distance of 8 kilometers through natural trails and valleys. Accompanied at all times by local baqueanos (cowboys), you will move forward at the calm pace of the horses, making this a low physical demand activity suitable for people without prior riding experience. Every corner of the trail offers a unique perspective of the landscape framed by Mount Fitz Roy.
At the end of the horseback ride, the adventure moves to the facilities of El Establo Restaurant, a space designed to connect with local cultural and gastronomic roots. A complete three-course menu awaits you there, featuring the traditional Patagonian lamb roasted on a spit, slowly cooked over the embers and served with side dishes.
This lunch or dinner facing the mountain peaks becomes the perfect finishing touch for the visit to Estancia Bonanza. Finally, you return to El Chalten after having visited an authentic estancia in the heart of Patagonia.
