Do it !
What an experience this was. We (two of us) were picked up from our hotel in central Mendoza, then driven up into the mountains to the north of the city. The two of us saddled up with Diego (the main guy), were taught the ropes, before heading out onto the trail. Don't worry if you can't/can barely ride a horse - we couldn't either! The scenery and views were extraordinary, and Diego was a wonderful guide - both very knowledgeable and helpful. Despite our questionable expertise aboard these beautiful horses, we were trusted to gallop into the ranch to conclude the two hour ride. This wasn't it though, with a wonderful lunch cooked on the grill for us. Having sampled plenty of Argentinian beef on our travels, this was the best we had had, particularly when combined with the homemade chimichurri. Diego also got us in touch with a white-water rafting company, and organised us to go and do that in the afternoon, before making sure we got back to the hotel in time to be picked up. Overall, this was an incredible experience, and cannot big this up enough. If you're in Mendoza, you just have to do it.

The best riding, scenery, asado, hosts in Mendoza!
I met Diego in 2010 when I visited Mendoza for the first time. A couple of friends and I went on the Cabalgata al Atardecer. It was amazing! I fell in love with the Andes and Mendoza. Diego was a great host. At that time my Spanish was not great and he was very good about accommodating us and explaining everything in English as needed. The views, the horses, the hospitality, the food were all amazing. After dinner we drank wine and talked and played guitar and enjoyed the evening before returning. It was such a great experience that I knew I wanted to return for a longer ride. Nine years later I returned to Mendoza in June 2019 with my girlfriend and I had to contact Diego and take her with me. We went on a 2 day, 1 night ride. It was amazing. Diego is a great guide, host, and person. He will make sure you are well taken care of an have everything you need for a fantastic experience. The other guides and associates working with Gaucho Estate are great as well. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Diego will go out of his way to make the experience unique, beautiful, and fun. He even helped me set up lodging and other excursions, wine tours, etc. The horses, views, and experience are amazing, but Diego really won me over with his cooking. He prepared a picada with whine, cheese, meats for us the first day which we enjoyed while looking down over Mendoza and watching the animals and scenery around us. It was lovely, but nothing compared to his parrillada. I have never eaten asado like this anywhere in Argentina. It was absolutely incredible. He plans every last detail of the trip including the food, and he does it well. If you’re in Argentina, consider visiting Mendoza. If you are in Mendoza, I highly recommend booking an excursion with the Gaucho Estate. You will not be disappointed.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 3 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mendoza.
How much does Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 3 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $600 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 3 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 3 Days?
+
Around 1 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 Rancho Gaucho Estate Expeditions 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, Private Tour in Luján de Cuyo. 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.
