During this trip, the offroad vehicle carries us into the wilderness of the Andes. In the past, these remote places could only be reached on old cattle tracks, on foot, or with a horse. We go and see little mountain villages, pass riders with their cattle, experience the magical mountain scenery of the Andes and plateaus from which you can overlook the country as far as 250 kilometres. Services: trip accompanied by German and English speaking guide, picnic, cool soft drinks. Duration: about 6 hours. Price per person: EUR 85 (lunch inclusive):
 
 
 
Caves of San Pedro

Further, you can look at fossilized Araukarien (trees) and fossils of various prehistoric dinosaurs such as the tyrannosauros rex. Trip accompanied by German and English speaking guide. Duration: about 4 hours. Price per person: EUR 68 (no lunch).

mountain biking in chile
Mountain Biking
There are four mountain bikes available to our guests. You can explore the surroundings on gravel roads for which we suggest interesting mountain bike trails. One suggestion is to leave the Hacienda in the morning (with water bottle and picnic lunch), go and see some villages on the way and arrive at the Carves of San Pedro. You may return from this 15 kilometres trip on the bus. EUR 24 (lunch inclusive).

 

 

 
Fiestas & Events
Fiestas and events take place regularly in the mountain villages of our valley at the Rio Hurtado. Schedules of fiestas, cultural activities and events are available at the Hacienda. You may join Carrera Chilena (horseracing), rodeos and colorful religious celebrations. Celebrating, music and dance, or betting at horseracings: in spite of their hard life in the mountains the Chileans know how to celebrate.
