    Best day so far.

    Awesome day. Best day of rhe holiday so far. The staff were all brilliant and really helpful. I've never been on a horse in my life but it was so easy for beginners and trekking through the amazing scenery was a real joy. Can't recommend it highly enough.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your opinion. It is very important for us to hear about your experience. Thank you for choosing this experience!

    Beautiful cabalcata

    We really enjoyed the excursion and the general atmosphere at the ranch. My girlfriend had horse riding experience while i didnt but it was easy to get by. The horses were very very well trained and chill and the gauchos that came with us during the excursion were kind and spoke decent english. Considering the whole package (shuttle bus, intro and explanation, horses, asado, location) i found it very good value for money.

    DONT BOOK- cancelled on and given no reason

    Super unprofessional booked it and was cancelled on with ZERO reason via what’s app the day before the ride. Had no time to rebook was the number one activity I wanted to do. Still a week later no refund on 400 dollars. Super disappointed would NOT recommend

    Response from the operator: Hi, We’re truly sorry for your experience and completely understand how frustrating this must have been—especially with such short notice during your trip. In this particular case, the booking was made very last minute, and the cancellation was communicated to us shortly after. As soon as we were notified, we reached out immediately to inform you as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologize that, despite our efforts, the timing still impacted your plans. Cancellations are never taken lightly and can occasionally occur due to factors beyond our control. We understand how disappointing this is, especially when it was an experience you were really looking forward to. Regarding your refund, this is processed through the booking platform (Viator), but we are actively following up to ensure it is completed as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact us directly so we can assist and help expedite the process. We truly regret the inconvenience caused and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Tangol Tours

    Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $215 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bariloche usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Bariloche is not rushed.

    Is Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 79 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Bariloche, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour?

    +

    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 Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour?

    +

    Around 28 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 Bariloche 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 Bariloche and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour 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 Bariloche 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 Bariloche?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bariloche experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Trekking day in the mountains close to Bariloche, Fly Fishing Bariloche, Fly Fishing Trips in Bariloche. 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 Bariloche?

    +

    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 Bariloche?

    +

    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 Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour?

    +

    Included: Professional guide; Light breakfast of sweets, coffee, juice and mate tea; All necessary equipment; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Open bar of wine, sodas and mineral water. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour?

    +

    The meeting point will be at Villegas 222 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour offered in?

    +

    +

    What happens to Bariloche Horseback Riding & Traditional Argentine Barbecue Tour if the weather is bad?

    +
