Frequently Asked Questions
¿Hay que cabalgar mucho por día?
El recorrido es tranquilo y sin mucha exigencia.
¿Hay que saber andar a caballo y/o tener experiencia previa en la actividad?
Definitivamente no. Los caballos están preparados para recibir a personas que nunca hayan montado y el proceso de aprendizaje es significativamente veloz. La modalidad es “al paso”, en forma expedición, un caballo detrás del otro, para avanzar por el terreno ondulante.
¿Y si se andar a caballo?
Aquellos que cuenten con experiencia también tendrán la posibilidad de contar con caballos más sueltos y poder galopar y/o trotar en los momentos que los baqueanos lo consideren, según el tipo de terreno.
¿Dónde se pernocta?
Hospedaje en las habitaciones de la Estancia.
¿Llevo un bolso, una mochila grande, una mochila chica…qué llevo?
Cada uno debe llevar su equipaje personal en un bolso o mochila grande.
¿Qué se come?
Comidas tipicas del lugar.

What happens if the trip is suspended due to bad weather or other force majeure?
At AEX, the safety of our travelers and guides comes first. Activities are only suspended or modified when weather, political or geographic conditions put the expedition at risk. The decision rests exclusively with the guide team and technical direction, based on official reports (National Weather Service, National Parks or local authorities).
If the trip is suspended, do I lose what I paid?
No. The amount paid becomes a Credit in your favor (Weather Voucher) valid for 18 months from the suspended date: up to 6 months to choose a new date plus 12 months to take part. You can use it for the same expedition or any of our other destinations and experiences, and if you cannot use it within that period you can transfer it to someone else.

Fui a Tres Picos con Mati y Fer de AEX. Todo sucedió como estaba organizado. Tanto los guías como Euge estuvieron disponibles desde el día 1 de la reserva para evacuar todas nuestras dudas y llegar de la mejor manera al trekking. Súper recomendable viajar con AEX.
