BRAVO to Stella and her family! This experience was even more than we could have imagined. From getting up into the Andes on Horseback (with a very experienced gaucho) to sharing a most wonderful homecooked meal with new found friends and of course the vino!!
We cannot recommend this trip enough.
Note: The drive to the "ranch" is on a rocky road, but it is so worth it!! Also the driver was very knowledgeable and entertaining so no worries.
THANKS Stella and family...I hope we meet again. Enjoy those precious little ones!

This is a MUST DO whilst you’re in Mendoza! The horse riding was amazing and all the horses were really calm - great for beginners. Stella was very welcoming of us into her home and the bbq food she cooked was the best meal we have had since being in South America! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an authentic Argentinian experience.

If you’re in Mendoza, you HAVE to do this tour! I’ve been traveling through argentina for two months and this is probably the best experience yet! I mean that too! I had no experience with horseback riding, they made me feel at ease, and felt like I was in great hands.The place they take you on horseback is absolutely stunning. Sitting down and eating BBQ with Stella and her family felt like sitting with your own family. She opens her home as if it is yours, I left feeling like I made friends for life ♥️
Don’t hesitate and book this tour, you won’t regret it!

I never give negative reviews but I had a terrible experience with this operator.
First I was contacted after I completed the booking and told that the date I had chosen was no longer available. I agreed to move my booking to a later date to accommodate.
I was then contacted the morning of my tour and told that my driver would be arriving at my hotel between 3-3:30 PM. After 3:30 PM, I attempted to call/text the tour operator multiple times for updates, at which point they stopped responding completely.
Truly a shame as this was supposed to be one of the highlights of my trip. Save your time/money and book elsewhere. See attached for photos of correspondence.

Patrick, I am very sorry that you had a bad experience. It is not to our liking that the passenger was in disagreement. Those who have had the opportunity to meet us know that we are a humble family and committed to what we do. It is not our intention to play with the times, much less the money of those who choose us.
The first time I contacted you was to coordinate another date for the activity since we couldn't do it on the day I had selected for different reasons and it was you who chose the date.
Our driver was for you at the address you indicated on three occasions and it was not possible to find you trying to communicate with you and he had no luck either after several minutes of waiting and seeing the discontent of the other passengers who were already in the chosen vehicle stop insisting
The place where we carry out the activity is in the middle of the mountain where the telephone signal is almost nil, that is why the same morning of the excursion I give all the details to the passengers without leaving anything pending for the last minute. I hope you can understand what happened and others is telling you that you have a place available in our house for whenever you want!

Wonderful, authentic experience to ride with gaucho Facundo in the 'pre-Andes' mountains. Beautiful landscape, well trained horses and exceptional hospitality by hostess Stella! Oh and superb asado to finish off a truly amazing afternoon/evening.

It was the first time I tried horseback riding and you don’t need any experience to be able to enjoy the trip. The horses were calm and knew what they were doing. The view and the asado were amazing and the host is really nice. I would recommend to everyone visiting Mendoza.

We have been travelling around Argentina for 2 weeks & this was the highlight of our trip👍🇦🇷..
Thank You 'SO' much Estella, Ezekiel, all the Gauchos, kitchen help & especially 'Max' (my horse😘).. for the experience of a lifetime.
We had the best time, everyone & everything was perfect👌..
..even after the day had ended & it was time to drive us back to the hotel (..& I'm sure 'HE' was tired after preparing the 'Assado' etc, etc..) we had so much fun with 'Ezekiel' on the trip back to our hotel..👏🙏🤝 "Thank You Brother"

Wow, what a great trip and the views are spectacular from the mountain. The food at the end was really quite good, complete with wine and dessert. Definite must!
The guides are very experienced and the horses are well trained for the terrain.
A few key callouts though. 1) It’s a long day. About 7 hours from start to finish with the long ride from central Mendoza. Part of the ride to the finca is down a very rocky road. The horseride itself is about 3 hours, up and down the mountain.
2) We heeded to the instructions and brought hats and gloves, even though the temperature was about 70 at the beginning. On the way down, as the sun was setting it got really cold.
3) There are two trails, one through the mountains and another flatter ride. But only the mountain trail has the views.
We rode with a 10-year who had never ridden a horse but he did great.

Unexpected wonderful experience. The travelling with the horses brought us great viewings from the top of the mountain we could see Mendoza. The hostess was very enthusiastic and friendly and provided us with a lovely BBQ and delicious wine.

This was actually our SECOND experience with El Relincho Cabalgatas. We loved it so much the first time that we did it AGAIN, and brought a friend with us the second time.
I cannot recommend enough that you experience this! The service, the views, the food, everything about the experience ... all 5 star! We are in Mendoza for 3 months, and I suspect we might do this is a third time before leaving. It is well worth every penny (or pesos!).
