After approximately an hour on the road, you'll reach a charming family-owned mountain lodge situated by Laguna Escondida, roughly 55 km from Ushuaia.

This delightful location signifies the start of your horseback riding journey. Here, your guide will thoughtfully choose the ideal criollo horse for you, ensuring it aligns with your skill level for a safe and enjoyable experience.
