POLARAVIS

Horseback riding
at Lago Escondido,
Tierra del Fuego

Subantarctic forest, mountain terrain and Lago Escondido at the end of the ride.

What you will experience on the ride

The ride leaves from the mountain refuge and moves through subantarctic forest, among lenga and ñire trees. The trail climbs into mountain terrain until the forest opens and Lago Escondido appears, ringed by the mountain range. The final stretch follows the lake shore, with water on one side and mountain on the other. The way back retraces the same trail to the refuge, the starting and finishing point of the ride.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need previous riding experience?

No. The difficulty is easy and the ride is guided at all times.

What is the difference between the ride with a snack and the ride with an asado?

Both last the same amount of time (1, 2 or 3 hours, your choice) and follow the same route through subantarctic forest and along the shore of Lago Escondido. The difference is how they end: the ride with a snack finishes with a country afternoon tea at the refuge, and the other one closes with a full traditional asado.

In which months does this activity run?

Year-round.

Is it a private outing?

No. It is a scheduled group outing. Individual bookings are subject to availability.
