Horse rides in the Argentinean pampas

Horseback Riding at El Colibrí: Explore the Pampas on Horseback with Our Gauchos

At Estancia El Colibrí Relais & Châteaux, horseback riding is much more than an activity offered to travelers, it is a living tradition we are proud to share. Carefully raised in our estancia, our Criollo horses invite you to discover the wild beauty of Córdoba’s region at their rhythm, guided by our Argentinean gauchos, true guardians of the equestrian spirit of the pampas.

Tailor-Made Rides in an Exceptional Natural Setting

Set on a private 170-hectare estate, the estancia offers a unique playground for those who love nature and authenticity. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, you can:

• gallop freely across the Argentinean pampas,
• follow forest trails,
• ride along the riverbanks,
• or explore the Sierras de Córdoba on horseback, in a peaceful and unspoiled environment.

Each ride is accompanied by our gauchos, who will introduce you to the local wildlife, flora, and the stories of this unique land.

Our Criollo Horses: Calm, Enduring, and Suitable for All Levels

An emblematic breed of South America, the Criollo horse is known for its strength, gentle nature, and stamina. Raised and trained at the estancia, our horses are perfectly suited for riders of all levels — including beginners — and ensure safe, comfortable, and emotionally rich rides.

Riding at El Colibrí means experiencing Argentina differently: surrounded by nature, to the rhythm of hoofbeats, in harmony with noble and generous animals. It is also a chance to share a special moment with our gauchos, ambassadors of an authentic rural heritage.
