Horseback
riding and hiking through the wildest lands of northern Patagonia
In the Southern Aysen Region, between Chile and Argentina is located
"Entrada Baker" as a frontier pass. This area formerly inhabited
by the Tehuelche Indians and through which the first colonists enter
the area to establish themselves along the Baker River. It is an area
of pampas with very dry weather and intense clear blue skies, so typical
of Patagonia.
During this horseback riding, we will enter through old trails and
lead by experienced guides, into a mountain country, with beautiful
forests, rivers and lakes: land of glaciers, sun and wind. |
