We had a wonderful time. The area around the ranch is beautiful and well off the beaten path. The views of the surrounding mountains is breath taking. My wife and I are far from equestrians so we were very happy to have been given two calm, well mannered horses who didn't really need any instructions from us. They knew the way and took signals from our guide's horse. We also really enjoyed meeting the owner of the ranch who served as our host for the barbecue.

We enjoyed a walk in a beautiful and wonderful place! From the moment you arrive at the place you feel a welcoming atmosphere and as you get to know its owner Gilda and her employees like Angel you realize all the love and good vibes they put into the experience! We went horseback riding and enjoyed a delicious meal with the best service! Very highly recommended! Thanks for everything!!!

We had a totally enjoyable day! We were greeted very friendly and warm by the family, the horses were incredibly sweet and calm. The instructions were very clear and they was no rush at all. The views during the horse riding were spectacular and it was a very fun experience. Loads of opportunities to stop for pictures while they told us all about the area.
After the horse riding we had a delicious asado of locally sourced food and wine combined with gorgeous views. The people could not have been more helpful and welcoming. After our asado they even brought us for an impromptu trip to view some gauchos at work and on our way back they made a special effort to show us some of the best places of the city.
We really appreciate all the extra effort they put into the experience for us. They could not have been kinder, making it one of the highlights of our whole trip. Would definitely recommend.

This was one of the coolest experiences we did in South America. Gilda, Lucia, and Angel were incredible guides and made the experience unforgettable. Great views of the Andes along the entire ride and then a delicious asado and wine lunch to cap off the day. Cannot recommend this enough!

One of the best experiences we had in Argentina. The family are so welcoming, the horses were calm and the dinner was amazing. Cannot miss this when in Mendosa.

The Palma family have lived on the land for centuries - you will not find a more authentic, scenic, welcoming, memorable, or delicious experience than this. We were picked up by Thomas & Lu, embarked on a little road trip (10/10 music choice), and upon arrival were treated like family. Horses are incredibly well trained & we were accompanied by the best dogs on our ride. Fully farm to table meal, from the steak to the wine. Only thing that topped the food were the illuminating conversations. All around a must!

Really great experience! First of all nice personal contact right away together with a quick confirmation of the trip. The Ranch is beautiful, the surrounding is so spacious, I found it breath taking. The horses are super well behaved and well taken care off! The ride itself is beautiful and we enjoyed every bit of it. The food afterwards was excellent. You just feel that they have a heart of liking good products. We geld so relaxed. And next to that we even got really nice tips for the rest of our stay. Thank you so mutch!

Absolutely beautiful and charming place! We were kindly welcomed by Mrs. Gilda and her husband, and we took a ride around the property, having a very pleasant chat. It's a different tour than the usual one for anyone going to Mendoza, but I highly recommend it. Would go back!

We loved everything! Gilda is a perfect host, and Angel is a great guide - she told us everything about the area and the horses. The views are incredible and the horses are very friendly and super tame.

The experience with Lucía's family is incredible. After booking the trip, Lucía sent us a confirmation message right away. From the pickup to the horseback riding to the barbecue, it was truly top notch. Gilda and Angel travel with my boyfriend and me. My boyfriend is a first timer and he felt very comfortable riding. I'm an intermediate runner, so I sing with Ángel Gaucho in the last part. The horses are beautiful!!! After the walk, we returned to the ranch to eat the Argentine barbecue, the meat was very good! Really good hahaha. I must say that the hospitality is of a very high level. Thanks for all the team!!!
The landscape is magnificent! Very private and exclusive place in Tupungato! I highly recommend you spend time with Gilda in the cozy and impressive mountain. You will enjoy it 100% if you love horses + Argentine style barbecue + wine + nice people! Thank you so much!!!
