    Expect this trip NOT to go ahead

    I had the same experience as other travellers. After booking, I received a confirmation, but when I reached out with follow-up questions, there was no response. I called, texted, and emailed multiple times without hearing back. In my case, the cancellation only came a few days before the scheduled start date. Fortunately, I had enough time to adjust my plans, but that may not be the case for others. I genuinely don’t understand why this operator continues to be allowed on the platform given the repeated communication issues reported by travellers.

    Unreliable

    I booked this trip and planned my visit to Mendoza around it. Six days prior to departure I asked the operator some simple questions. I waited . . . and waited. I never got a response. I had Viator try. They never got a response. I ended up having to cancel and pivot to filling the time with other activities. If I were you, I would NOT trust these people. If you’re still tempted, go back and look at the details. Where do they go? Where will you sleep? How will you bathe? Nothing.

    Great Trip

    Spectacular, Jose and Leo were great. The horses were well trained, but not barn sour. The terrain was spectacular and exciting enough for a seasoned rider while the horses made it enjoyable even for the beginner rider. The food was also spectacular.

    Incredible 3 day expedition

    Our 3 day expedition was the highlight of our trip to Argentina - it was absolutely unforgettable. The horses were phenomenal - so well trained and sure footed on the terrain. José and his team are wonderful hosts, we absolutely loved the food (the best we had throughout our month here!!) and they made sure everyone was safe and comfortable at all times. From sleeping under the stars, trekking through the Andes, crossing rivers and chatting away at night with great conversation and company, it was perfect from start to finish. A real great reset in nature and an opportunity to see fantastic horsemen at work. I can't recommend enough!

    AVOID THESE GUYS!

    These guys confirmed my trip a couple of times leading up to the date, which I booked months in advance then 12 hours before they sent a notice that it has been cancelled without any reason, and have not been responding to me for a few days or Viator. Not weather related or anything (it's perfect weather). Extremely unprofessional and now I'm left scrambling to figure out hotels and everything back in Mendoza during the busy season. Insane! Don't plan your trip around these guys!

    Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days cost?

    +

    Prices start at $593 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mendoza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Mendoza is not rushed.

    Is Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mendoza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days?

    +

    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 Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days?

    +

    Around 6 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days 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 Mendoza 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 Mendoza?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Mendoza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include High Mountain, Aconcagua and Inca Bridge, Andes High Mountain full day Tour, Horseback riding and roast in the mountains of Mendoza. 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 Mendoza?

    +

    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 Mendoza?

    +

    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 Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Snacks; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 159 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, 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 Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days?

    +

    Is Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days 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 Horseback expedition to The Andes, 3 days if the weather is bad?
