Tango is one attraction Argentina is famous for – but horseback riding is the actual signature thing you can do when visiting the South American country.
We opted for an entire horseback riding vacation to explore the country's diverse landscape – from the fertile plains of the Pampas in the center to the Andes Mountains in the west. Having been a big horse fan since I was a kid, I wasn't afraid to spend a few days riding, but it was my husband's first time in the saddle – and he fell in love with this kind of slow travel.
Choosing a tour guide might seem straightforward, but it’s key to ensure that equipment is in good condition, tour guides know the culture and nature, and horses are well-fed and trained. Don’t go for the first offer, but really speak to people and check their values. You don’t want to end up 5 days on a horse in an inconvenient saddle or even have an accident because of a lack of security standards.
