Estancia Travel specializes in organizing riding trips in and around the Torres del Paine National Park. Within this corner of Chile, known as Patagonia, our mission is to provide our clients with a fantastic and memorable riding holiday whilst always respecting the environment and culture in the areas we visit.
We have put together several packages from 1 to 10 day Horse riding trips for both experienced horse enthusiasts, along with people who are visiting the park as hikers, but who would like to experience this beautiful part of the world on the traditional form of transport, the faithful horse.
There are many trails in the park, which cross widely different types of terrain. As riders can cover greater distances than hikers, our trips allow you to experience an enormous and diverse section of this pristine wilderness.
There is also plenty to offer the wildlife enthusiast. Twenty-five species of mammal including the elusive puma, the ostrich-like rhea, and the now protected guanacos can be found in the park. There are over one hundred species of birds, notably black-necked swans, flamingoes, ibis, rheas, austral parakeets and southern lapwings. Condors with a wingspan of three metres will be seen hovering over valleys.
