Por el precio, la cabalgata superó nuestras expectativas: el traslado salió puntual desde Ushuaia y nos avisaron por WhatsApp la noche anterior qué llevar. En el campo nos recibieron con mate y caballos tranquilos; la guía adaptó el ritmo porque era nuestra primera vez. El almuerzo junto al Lago Escondido fue abundante y casero. Para nuestra luna de miel y primer viaje internacional, el paisaje, la atención y la logística justificaron ampliamente el precio de esta excursión de medio día.

Caballos, bosque y Lago Escondido: salida perfectamente organizada en Ushuaia

Booking was wonderfully easy: Paula answered our questions about riding ability, pickup timing, and even noted my husband’s knee issue before confirming. The day mixed horseback riding through lenga forest with beautiful Lago Escondido views, a relaxed picnic lunch, and a short walk to viewpoints—plenty of variety without feeling rushed. Our guide was patient, funny, and genuinely attentive. A memorable anniversary outing, even for two slightly creaky retirees!

Comemoramos o aniversário da nossa filha nessa cavalgada e foi uma escolha linda para a família. As crianças adoraram atravessar o bosque fueguino, ver o Lago Escondido entre as montanhas e parar no mirante do Paso Garibaldi. Nosso guia, Martín, conhecia cada curva; mostrou pegadas recentes de raposa e explicou por que o vento muda tão rápido ali. Os cavalos eram tranquilos, o ritmo seguro e as paisagens inesquecíveis.

Zu zweit haben wir diese Tour während unserer Flitterwochen gemacht und waren begeistert von der Abwechslung: Erst ging es im 4x4-Fahrzeug durch den Wald zum Fagnano- und Lago Escondido, danach ritten wir entspannt am Seeufer entlang. Besonders schön waren die Aussichtspunkte auf die Anden, das Mittagessen in einer gemütlichen Hütte und ein kurzer Spaziergang zu einem versteckten Wasserfall. Die Guides waren herzlich und erklärten alles ruhig.

Après une année de boulot, j’avais besoin de décrocher. La réservation avec Best Patagonia Tours a été simple : réponse rapide en français et conseils précis sur les vêtements. À cheval, on a longé le Lago Escondido, traversé une forêt de lengas, puis pique-niqué près d’un ruisseau face aux montagnes enneigées. Sauvage, calme, parfait pour souffler.
