About this trip
Experience the Andes at golden hour with a sunset horseback ride through the mountain trails of Rancho Don Daniel, surrounded by panoramic views of the Cordón del Plata.
The experience begins at our mountain ranch at 2,400 meters. From there, we ride for approximately two hours through valleys, streams, and high-altitude trails as the last light of the day transforms the mountains.
Halfway through the ride, we stop at a scenic spot to share a traditional picada with homemade bread, cheese, salami, and Mendoza wine while watching the sun disappear behind the Andes.
The pace is relaxed, giving you time to enjoy the horses, the changing light, the silence, and the stories shared along the way.
At Rancho Don Daniel, this is about more than reaching a viewpoint: it’s about slowing down and sharing a simple moment of mountain life with the family who lives here.
Two hours on horseback, a glass of wine, homemade flavors, and the Andes at sunset.
