From Expediciones Chile's Lodge in the alpine village of Futaleufu you will horseback ride overnight to small neighboring communities in Patagonia, Chile. Horses will carry your food, gear, and bags. Rides combine camping with small local inns. This mini excursion is ideal for those who don`t have time for a weeklong horseback riding vacation.
Called the "Route of the Cowboys" this 4-day Patagonia horseback riding trip departs from the village of Futaleufu from Expediciones Chile's working ranch or lodge. You will be spending time on the trail and tenting at two working primitive ranches yet enjoy the comfort of eating dinner and supper inside. Riders will return on another trail in another drainage back to the to the village, completing a circuit.
Expediciones Chile invites you to come explore what they call "the best kept secret of Patagonia," a magical place where hundreds of glacial lakes are connected by thousands of kilometers of pristine rivers, all flowing through the dramatic Andean Mountain range. Be enchanted by its natural rhythms, where condors soar in southern thermals high above turquoise rapids thundering through rarely explored granite canyons. Futaleufu means "great great river" in Chile's native Mapuche language and its reputation has made it one of the most coveted multi-sport destinations in the world.
