Day 2
After breakfast, we'll begin our day's ride, which begins with a descent into the Quillén Valley. During the first two hours of riding, you can enjoy sweeping views and observe the challenges of the coming days. On the north side of the Estancia, we'll stop for lunch on the banks of the Quillén River, which flows through the aforementioned valley (which we had been observing from above). After a rest, we'll continue northward for another two hours to our second camp, Voladeros, where you can enjoy a pleasant dinner.
Day 1
Upon arriving at the estancia, we will have a light lunch and mount up to begin our first horseback ride, heading southeast. This journey will take approximately three hours, crossing various mallines and continuing through araucaria forests until we reach our first camp, Mallín Escondido, where we will spend the night.
Day 3
In the morning, after breakfast, we'll embark on a long day… We'll ascend moderate slopes, with varied views, until we reach Mallín del Picudo, where we'll stop for a break and lunch. In the afternoon, we'll continue the journey through the surrounding imposing araucaria forests and descend for a long time at a steep incline over Loma de los Chivos with breathtaking views of Lanín and Lake Quillén. After a six-hour ride, we'll arrive at our main camp, Malalco, where you can enjoy a hot shower.
and a delicious dinner.
LANIN
4-day / 4-night horseback ride
Enjoy unique moments in a magical place where nature takes center stage…
Horseback riding through Araucaria forests with panoramic views of the Lanín Volcano and overnight stays in different camps surrounded by fire will be an unforgettable experience!
Day 4
This day, our goal is the highest peak in the area, more than
2,320 meters above sea level. We will cross the Malalco River and begin the most challenging ascent, which will take us some time.
A three-hour trek through lenga forests, sugarcane fields, and araucaria trees, weaving through the vegetation line to reach the lagoons formed in the volcano's ancient crater, according to locals. There, we'll serve a light lunch, and then those with the energy can hike the last few meters to reach the summit and view the seven volcanoes that dominate the area and the Andes in all their splendor. After approximately eight hours of riding, we'll return to the Malalco campsite.
And so, with this last night under the stars and accompanied by the fire, we conclude the experience...
Day 5
OPTIONAL
After breakfast, we'll take a leisurely one-hour ride to the dock, where we'll board a boat to cruise Quillen Lake to Lumillas Beach, where we'll cook lunch. In the late afternoon, after a day on the lake, we'll return to the starting point to mount our horses and head back to camp.
