Full Day Horseback Ride

• 

  For the day ride we start at 10.00 am. The route leads down to the Mapuche Indian Community. We ride into the Quelhue mountain range, part of the big “Villarrica National Reserve“ On the way up you can see very clearly how man interferes in nature, we start on farmland, ride through re-growing forest and end up steps away from untouched virgin rainforest with fourty meter high Coighue and Mañio trees. In this forest three families have cut their farms during the colonization of this area in the beginning sixties of last century. The way back leads through similar landscape, first forest, later cultivated land in the valley following the Trancura River with“La Leona” rapid, the second biggest on this section of the river. In many parts we enjoy great views over three volcanoes: Villarrica, Quetrupillan and Lanin.

Two Day Horseback Ride

• 

  This trek offers a great adventure, even for the inexperienced rider. Experience invigorating mountain air and pass a unique night barbecuing steak on the open campfire and setting up tents between the grazing horses. We leave from the farm in the morning for our basecamp on the shores of lake Geppinger. On the following days we explore the mountains around the lake on two day long rides. We enjoy incredible views and on day two even reach the virgin rainforest with its imense Coighue and Araucaria trees. On this ride we provide everything: from plates to spoons, sleeping mats, tents. You only need your personal stuff. Riding is about 7 hours per day on horseback, the ride starts at 9.00 pm at Antilco, ending at 06.00 pm the second day.
