Great Evening
Great adventure. Diego was awesome - helped us feel comfortable on the horse. Was a bit chilly and dark but very glad we did it. The food was good and the Diego's guitar and singing was very entertaining.

Fantastic experience for beginners
This excursion was so fabulous. The views were gorgeous, the food was fantastic, and the guides were great. I had basically never ridden a horse before, but I got the hang of it quickly. They give you a quick instruction on how to ride, but for the most part the horse knows how to horse and just follows the one in front of it. You ride for about 2 hours, which flies by. Sitting around the fire with a stomach full of asado listening to Diego play guitar after a fun ride is one of my favorite travel memories.

Perhaps better with a bigger group.
Pro: short drive from Mendoza. Beautiful views. Held the tour with just the two of us. Room for improvement: when booking they said they’d pick us up in Chacras de Coria but at noon day of, told us we needed to Uber into Mendoza which adds another 25.000 to the cost. Also at noon asked if we could reschedule to the next day because we were the only two- we had plans so could not move the day. Once we arrived, they did not really attempt to talk to us (we speak Spanish) and I felt like they were just trying to get the tour done with. My horse was slow and I was made to feel like it was my fault. The asado was good but they put the food on the table and walked away. No campfire, no music. Perhaps if there was a bigger group we would have had a different experience. We still enjoyed the views but could have been better.

Look for better
It was just ok horseback riding - no view of sunset no conversation with leader Xxxxxxxxzzzzzzzzzzzz
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Guys. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. Regarding the sunset, the tour is named "Sunset Ride" because it takes place during the sunset hours, allowing guests to enjoy that special time of day while horseback riding. Depending on the season, weather conditions, and the pace of the group, the sunset may be viewed from different points of the ride rather than from a fixed viewpoint. We are also sorry to read your comment about the lack of conversation with the leader. Maggie was the guide accompanying your group, and she is a highly professional and friendly member of our team. We consistently receive excellent feedback about her from our guests. For that reason, we understand that your comment may be referring to Diego, the owner of the ranch. While Diego is present on most of our tours, he is not able to join every ride, as we work with a team of experienced guides who help us deliver the experience and ensure that every tour runs smoothly. During the ride itself, it can be difficult for the guides to continuously converse with all guests, as one guide usually rides at the front leading the group while another stays at the back supervising the horses and ensuring everyone's safety. However, we always make time to interact with our guests before and after the ride. We also hope that you enjoyed the traditional Argentine barbecue served after the ride. Thank you again for your feedback. We appreciate every comment, as it helps us continue improving the experience we offer to our guests.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback riding at sunset: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Horseback riding at sunset cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 riding at sunset 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 Mendoza is not rushed.
Is Horseback riding at sunset worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 128 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 riding at sunset?
+
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 riding at sunset 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 Horseback riding at sunset?
+
Around 45 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback riding at sunset 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 riding at sunset?
+
Included: Round trip transportation, 2 hours of riding, meals and drinks. Not included: Required equipment. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Horseback riding at sunset include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 62 listed pickup locations in and around Mendoza. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Horseback riding at sunset 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 Horseback riding at sunset?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Horseback riding at sunset 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 riding at sunset if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
