★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $278

Private Andes horseback ride from Santiago with hotel transfers, a guided trail, and a picnic with wine. Beginner-friendly, private pace.

“MAKE SURE YOU CONTACT THE LOCAL GUIDE!!! I was looking forward to a sunset ride and a BBQ. Thank goodness I contacted the local number to inquire about my pickup driver and vehicle. She didn't know anything about my 4 pm reservation and asked if I could ride the next morning at 10 am. Well...I paid, so I felt as if I had no choice. RIDE: The two guides were great. The horses were fine. The tour was basic but pleasant. The food was a disappointment although our 'chef' was nice. Nothing was typical Chilean cuisine, especially the Club crackers served with the ham and cheese. Avocados are a major…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 26 reviews · 4 hours · from $171

Horseback up Cerro Dorotea from Puerto Natales for fjord views of Última Esperanza, border crossing, and coffee at the lookout.

“muy costoso para lo que fue. Al final me cambiaron el recorrido y me dijeron que visitariamos otro fiordo (lo vi mucho mejor desde el taxi que desde la ruta a caballo). La actitud del guía deja mucho por desear (con otros turistas fue grosero, y su forma de hablar cortante, al límite de lo irrespetuoso). Adicional a eso, allá les cobraron 90.000 pesos chilenos, no entiendo por qué terminé yo pagando mucho más. El guía decidió hacer la cabalgata un poco más corta y los otros también se quejaron al respecto con él, a lo que respondió que el clima no estaba muy bueno y había 2 turistas esperando…”
