From the Lerma Valley to the Calchaquí Valleys
A journey to discover northern Argentina at its best.
From the Lerma Valley to the Calchaquí Valleys
Ride for ten days through the heart of northwestern Argentina —
from the green, humid plains of the Lerma Valley to the warm silence of the Calchaquí Valleys.
The Peruvian Paso horse carries you with grace, balance, and calm strength.
A journey where every landscape changes, but the feeling remains the same: freedom.
The ride
This ten-day, nine-night adventure is designed for intermediate and advanced riders seeking a genuine, vibrant, and deeply sensory equestrian experience. Each stage reveals new contrasts: tobacco fields, ancient trails, mountain villages, and skies that seem to have no end.
The Peruvian Paso horse, with its smooth, rhythmic gait, moves as if floating over the red earth. Its elegance and confidence invite you to feel the landscape through every sense —
the whisper of wind through the valleys, the scent of soil after rain, the quiet warmth of the afternoon sun. Each day brings a new rhythm: wide trails between mountains, gentle climbs, river crossings, and peaceful descents.
Evenings arrive with the firelight, good wine, conversation, and the serenity of the countryside. Behind it all stands Ampascachi’s impeccable logistics: expert guides, carefully chosen rural lodges and estancias, regional cuisine crafted with care, and a team that anticipates every detail.
This is more than a horseback holiday — it’s an immersion into nature, culture, and self.
A journey that blends adventure with calm and reconnects you with the pure essence of the land.
