Horseback Ride Through the Coastal Andes: Private Hacienda Experience

Ride through ancient Chilean valleys in the coastal Andes foothills on a curated hacienda experience — cantering past vineyards, river gorges, and Andean condor territory before a traditional asado under eucalyptus trees. The most visceral connection to Chilean land imaginable.

What to expect

A private transfer from San Antonio delivers you to a hacienda in the coastal Andean foothills, where well-schooled criollos horses and a huaso guide await. You ride through native Chilean scrub and riverine valleys, pausing on ridgelines for panoramic Pacific views before descending into a sheltered valley for a wood-fired asado of chorizo, ribs, and empanadas. The afternoon concludes with a slow return ride and pisco sour by the hacienda fire — an experience that belongs on every serious traveller's list.

Good to know

Best suited to riders with at least basic experience; inform your guide of your level when booking. Full-day options allow combination with a coastal or wine-valley stop. Transfer from San Antonio to the hacienda is typically 30–50 minutes. Confirm all-aboard time with your guide before departure — private operators are diligent about timing.
