Drive a thousand head of Angus cattle from the sheltered plains of the pre-cordillera Pampas to their summer pastures in the Andes of Patagonia. Take a soak in remote mountain streams where the hot springs emerge. Try freshly grilled mountain stream trout prepared the Patagonian way. Camp beside your horse and listen to the peaceful rhythm of his breathing and hear the night-time sounds of the herd at rest. At dawn join the gaucho energy, dust and thrill of easing the herd into the morning mist of a day on the trail. On this trail we will be riding with cattle for the first few days, to move them to their new pastures. After our job is done, we continue the week without cattle!

The gaucho experience
Our November trip will take place from 9 to 16 November, and instead of driving the cattle, you will do one day of working in the corrals with the gauchos; branding, vaccinating, and/or castrating the cattle. Another day of the trip the gauchos will be teaching you all about their culture and work, from singing folk songs to roping cattle, an incredible experience! The price for this trip is 3250 USD.
4 to 11 December (FULL)
14 to 21 December (FULL)
All trips are hosted by someone from the Hooves team.
