Our farm, Campo Antilco is located 12 kilometers from Pucón, on the banks of the Liucura River, on the foothills of “cerros de Quelhue” mountain range. Here we live all year round, farming and taking care of our 17 horses. Starting from here you’ll explore with us the surrounding valleys and Villarrica and Huerquehue National Park on our horse trekking trips.

Pucón is a nice little town in the northern part of the southern Chilean Lake District, located between 2 large (Villarrica and Caburgua) lakes and many smaller lakes, on the foothills of the active Villarrica volcano and surrounded by 2 national parks (Villarrica NP and Huerquehue) and 2 forest reserves (Cañi/Cerros de Quelhue). A place with a well developed tourist infrastructure, but still only 20 minutes from untouched native rainforests
On the trail you are accompanied by a Chilean arriero (as the Chilean cowboys are called) and an English and Spanish speaking guide. We sleep in tents, all our luggage we take with us on the horses. Cooking, putting up the tents etc., will be done together by the group. Everyone should as he or she can, take care of their horses.
The Ride leads us past the little settlement of Carhuello, crossing the sandy beach of Lake Caburgua to the valleys in and around National Park Huerquehue. We’ll be riding through dense Native forests and crossing the passes there are breathtaking views of the Andean mountain ranges and the snow covered Volcanoes. Other highlights are bathing in the natural hot spring of “Rio Blanco” as well as camping right in the native forest nearby a mountain lake surrounded by huge monkey puzzle trees.
We’ll be about 4-7 hours in the saddle each day.

From now on the path winds between dense bamboo vegetation and among huge coigue trees to a lonely lake, Laguna Isolda. Some steep cuts and numerous creeks to cross, sometimes make the pass adventurous. We set up our camp in a small clearing right in the rainforest, a short walk from the lake, which we will pass by on...

If you have ever wondered what it would have been like to have roamed the wild West on horseback like the cowboys of the past, this is your opportunity to make this dream a reality. We invite you to join us in a magical adventure exploring the Andes Mountains by horseback. Cascada de las Animas is the oldest and most experienced horseback riding tour operator in Chile with over 20 years of experience leading horseback riding tours into the Andes Mountains of central Chile. Our horse trips are sold by travel agents and adventure travel companies all over the world. If you are surfing the web for a horseback trip in Chile, chances are you have already seen some of our horseback rides offered by these companies. We have hosted guests from around the globe, many who return each year.

Our travel in Chile is designed for travellers who are seeking a holiday with plenty of outdoor activity. Horseback riding here is like living the odyssey of the Spanish conquistadors from almost 500 years ago. The rides use passes and landscapes where everything including the flora and fauna remain the same. Inhabited only by silent animals such as condors and pumas (mountain lion). The vegetation gets sparser the higher you ascend, finally reaching green summer pastures full of wild flowers and sparkling streams. There is no other way but horseback riding to travel here. The guides for these trips are Arrieros, cowboys who run cattle herds over the Andes. They have learned the routes from their fathers and grandfathers before them. A musician usually travels with us .
The Central Andes on horseback trips last from 1 to 12 days. On longer horseback rides we camp in the mountains in well prepared campsites and spend the evening around the fire. This is the perfect trip for those who enjoy outdoor recreation and soft adventure, or for family vacations. No previous experience in riding or rides is needed.

We are a company who specializes in horseback riding trips in the Chilean Patagonia (surrounding Torres del Paine National Park).You will be part of an adventure in the mystic Patagonia, without needing much experience. This expedition will allow you to know the main attraction of Torres del Paine National Park, including 4 days riding with the possibility to walk inside its main valleys, surrounded by forests, hanging glaciers and granite walls.
