Our horseback riding experience goes beyond a typical ride. This private experience is designed to be relaxed, safe, and accessible, with calm, well-trained horses suitable for all experience levels. We work with a local family of arrieros who have over 35 years of experience caring for horses in the Andes. Each horse is known individually, receives regular veterinary care, and participates in only one ride per day, allowing proper rest and recovery. Ride through the foothills of the Andes with local guides who share their knowledge of the land, the animals, and rural Chilean life. We focus on creating a personal and welcoming atmosphere, where many travelers feel it’s less like a tour and more like spending time outdoors with people who genuinely enjoy what they do. The experience finishes with a scenic picnic in nature, offering a moment to relax, connect, and enjoy the landscape at a slower pace.

    A must do to get out of the City

    Excellent experience in beautiful countryside areas. Our guide, Paloma, was definitely one of the best we have had. Her passion for the horses and ensuring we all had a wonderful experience was definitely worth a mention. We were a group of 6. The horses were easy to guide too. The picnic was also a nice touch at the end. Thankyou Paloma

    Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting us! Paloma truly has a special connection with our horses, and I am glad her dedication made your time in the countryside so enjoyable. We believe that slowing down and finishing the ride with a relaxed local picnic is the best way to experience the Andes foothills. We hope to welcome you all back to Chile in the future.

    Amazing views and ride.

    We booked a private tour and had an amazing time. They picked us up at our airbnb. After a quick orientation we were off for horseback riding. We had amazing views and a great time on the horses which were all so easy to ride. We then finished with wine and snacks and visited with our guide and had a great time. Would definitely do again.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing us for your private tour. We always aim to make the logistics as easy as possible, starting right from your Airbnb, so you can just focus on the ride and the landscape. I am glad you felt comfortable on the horses and enjoyed the mountain views. Sharing wine and snacks while swapping stories with our guides is exactly how we like to end our rides. We look forward to having you back.

    Amazing views and very attentive services. Joaquin and the horses were amazing. The trail is fun but very comfortable. Would recommend!

    A magical experience with horses and nature.

    We recently enjoyed the private horseback ride with our wonderful guide Paloma, who was a bundle of information on so many topics. Communication from Ecordua was excellent and they were quick to respond to any questions we had prior to the tour. My husband and I haven't ridden for over 50 years but under the watchful eye of Thomas, and with clear instructions from Paloma, we had no problems managing the well trained and very quiet horses. The 6km trail took us through beautiful terrain with stunning views of the Andes and surrounds. We could stop for photos and drinks wherever we chose to. Our drink bottles were carried in the saddle bag. Afterwards, we enjoyed a lovely grazing platter and Chilean wine before Paloma delivered us safely back to our hotel. We can highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to escape Santiago and spend time in the peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside. Thank you again Paloma, Thomas and Ecordua.

    Response from the operator: What an honor to be part of your experience after 50+ years away from riding! Paloma and Thomas's care, knowledge, and patience clearly made all the difference, and we're so proud of our well-trained, gentle horses. The fact that you felt safe, learned so much, and left with wonderful memories and a great dinner recommendation is exactly what Ecordua is all about. Thank you for trusting us with your adventure! 🐴🍷

    Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.

    How much does Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.

    Is Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 197 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic?

    +

    Around 69 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Santiago?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Santiago?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Santiago?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic?

    +

    Included: Accident insurance; Safety equipment; 19% VAT; Well behaved and healthy horses; and Professional guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 212 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic?

    +

    Is Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Andean Horseback Ride: Scenic Trails & Wine Picnic if the weather is bad?

    +
