Group of 12 adults who took part in the sunset ride (including an outdoor barbecue at night).
Super recommended. Being a mountain horseback ride, there is no need to imagine galloping (it is mostly done at a pace). But riding a horse allows easy access to privileged views and places.
The barbecue is excellent - although even in summer it is advisable to wear a good coat given the cold at night.

Estela, Facundo, Thomaz and Mr Mario were simply sensational. The simplicity of the place is proof that tourism and leisure are not done with glamor or luxury. Friendliness, hospitality, lots and lots of professionalism. Animals are a separate chapter. A unique experience that we will keep in our memory along with the photo we took together. Our maximum recognition

BRAVO to Stella and her family! This experience was even more than we could have imagined. From getting up into the Andes on Horseback (with a very experienced gaucho) to sharing a most wonderful homecooked meal with new found friends and of course the vino!!
We cannot recommend this trip enough.
Note: The drive to the "ranch" is on a rocky road, but it is so worth it!! Also the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining so no worries.
THANKS Stella and family...I hope we meet again. Enjoy those precious little ones!

I never give negative reviews but I had a terrible experience with this operator.
First I was contacted after I completed the booking and told that the date I had chosen was no longer available. I agreed to move my booking to a later date to accommodate.
I was then contacted the morning of my tour and told that my driver would be arriving at my hotel between 3-3:30 PM. After 3:30 PM, I attempted to call/text the tour operator multiple times for updates, at which point they stopped responding completely.
Truly a shame as this was supposed to be one of the highlights of my trip. Save your time/money and book elsewhere. See attached for photos of correspondence.

Patrick, I am very sorry that you had a bad experience. It is not to our liking that the passenger was in disagreement. Those who have had the opportunity to meet us know that we are a humble family and committed to what we do. It is not our intention to play with the times, much less the money of those who choose us.
The first time I contacted you was to coordinate another date for the activity since we couldn't do it on the day I had selected for different reasons and it was you who chose the date.
Our driver was for you at the address you indicated on three occasions and it was not possible to find you trying to communicate with you and he had no luck either after several minutes of waiting and seeing the discontent of the other passengers who were already in the chosen vehicle stop insisting
The place where we carry out the activity is in the middle of the mountain where the telephone signal is almost nil, that is why the same morning of the excursion I give all the details to the passengers without leaving anything pending for the last minute. I hope you can understand what happened and others is telling you that you have a place available in our house for whenever you want!

This is a MUST DO whilst you’re in Mendoza! The horse riding was amazing and all the horses were really calm - great for beginners. Stella was very welcoming of us into her home and the bbq food she cooked was the best meal we have had since being in South America! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Argentinian experience.

If you’re in Mendoza, you HAVE to do this tour! I’ve been traveling through argentina for two months and this is probably the best experience yet! I mean that too! I had no experience with horseback riding, they made me feel at ease, and felt like I was in great hands.The place they take you on horseback is absolutely stunning. Sitting down and eating BBQ with Stella and her family felt like sitting with your own family. She opens her home as if it is yours, I left feeling like I made friends for life ♥️
Don’t hesitate and book this tour, you won’t regret it!

Wonderful, authentic experience to ride with gaucho Facundo in the 'pre-Andes' mountains. Beautiful landscape, well trained horses and exceptional hospitality by hostess Stella! Oh and superb asado to finish off a truly amazing afternoon/evening.

It was the first time I tried horseback riding and you don’t need any experience to be able to enjoy the trip. The horses were calm and knew what they were doing. The view and the asado were amazing and the host is really nice. I would recommend to everyone visiting Mendoza.

Highly recommend this guided trail horseback ride through desert arroyos & hill climbs & delicious family style asado bbq! If you're looking for a small, real ranch experience with no glamour, kitsch or faux luxury-touristy ride in the foothills of Mendoza & want to meet interesting people from around the world, book THIS ride! Simply a genuine & warm hearted family match each rider with a well trained, gentle trail horse according to your experience & comfort level. Briefing in Spanish & English. Choice of trail challenges are discussed & the group gets to choose flat & easy or more challenging up in the mountains with high & narrow trails. The horses know the way & you can trust them to manage the challenges with confidence. A stop & dismount at the top overlook with beautiful views gives horses a rest while riders wander to higher points for photos & relaxed chats with new friends made in a great location. The guides were there if needed for help but didn't over control the guests. The dinner was ready upon our return to the ranch & was served family style which gave us all a chance to talk & share with our small group of strangers now friends. Well seasoned roasted potato & stuffed peppers, salad, fresh bread, Argentine salsa (yum!) beef, pork & sausage with endless Malbec. The group talked, ate & shared stories until after dark. The drive back to our pick up spots was flawless. Daniel, my driver was prompt & drove safely. Half the fun was the rocky gravel road leading out of the Mendoza flats & up into the hills to the ranch. 8 hrs well spent!

The view was amazing. The whole experience was just wonderful. We also met some amazing people! After we finished riding through the mountains we were welcomed by a huge feast and the food was out of this world.
