Frequently Asked Questions

Do we ride a lot per day? 

No, we do not. The tour is quiet and without much demand.

Should we know how to ride a horse or have previous experience in the activity?

Definitely not. The horses are prepared to receive people who have never ridden and the learning process is significantly fast. The modality is one horse behind the other.

What if I know how to ride a horse?

Those who have experience will also have the possibility of having looser horses and be able to gallop at a time that the Baqueanos consider, depending on the terrain.

Where do we spend the night?

We spend the night in the main house of the Estancia.

I carry a bag, a large backpack, a small backpack ... what do I carry?

Everyone should carry their personal luggage in a large bag or backpack 

What is the menu like?

We usually have typical meals of the place: asados(babecues), stews, homemade jams and breads, among other dishes. If you require a special diet, please let us know at the time of filling in your personal file
