🌾 Ride the Trail of Tradition in Argentina

Long before guests arrived from Europe or the United States to discover Corrientes on horseback, our grandfather’s gauchos rode almost the same route—herding cattle across his estancias for two annual auctions at La Rosita. Today, Los Troperos al Galope revives that legacy as a five-day estancia-to-estancia horseback journey, connecting comfort, culture, and countryside.


🐴 Why This Ride is Exceptional

  • 🐎 Historical authenticity: A journey inspired by gaucho tradition and family roots

  • 🛏️ Estancia comfort during nights: Private rooms, hot showers, pools, gourmet food

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Personal care: 1 bilingual guide + 1 gaucho per 2 guests

  • 🔁 Horse swap freedom: A running herd allows for daily horse changes

  • 🦜 Wildlife immersion: Ñandús, capybaras, caimans, and native birds along the route

  • 💆 Massage therapy: Included at Estancia La Amistad

  • Riding in Argentina
