Riding & Estancia Stays
All Travel StylesWhat we offer…
For all you wannabe cowboys and cowgirls, we offer the opportunity to live the life of a gaucho as you ride out with the elusive cowboys of the south into the immense landscapes of Patagonia and elsewhere. Whether you want to try your hand at polo or get away from it all and camp under the southern stars we can help.
Summary
Organising 10 day horse riding expeditions is how we started out over 25 years ago with our flagship and pioneering Torres del Paine Glacier Ride and riding remains very close to our hearts at BlueGreen.
Today, in addition to running spectacular point to point horse rides in and around Torres del Paine we work with a handful of equally passionate and innovative riding partners in Patagonia and elsewhere in Chile and Argentina.
As part of our celebration of over 25 years of operating trips in the region we are re-launching our Glacier & Estancia Rides in Torres del Paine with fresh new itineraries ready for the 2024-25 season, see Riding Activity.
We can also arrange stays at a number of carefully selected estancias that exist in the Patagonia region and further afield in Argentina, including Buenos Aires.
Southern Patagonia is perfect riding country. Unhindered by fences, roads or urban development, riders can canter for miles and miles on soft pampas beneath towering granite peaks surrounded by the immense beauty of the southern ice cap.
Guided by an expert Chilean guide and looked after by baqueanos, Blue Green Adventures will take you deep into this riders’ paradise away from the main trails and into the Patagonian wilderness.

Summary
“This landscape of blue, green and silver, of granite spires, glaciers, lakes, mountains and daisy-filled meadows, robs you of words. I quote Gerard Manley Hopkins to myself, the nearest I can get to doing justice to the view beyond the tent’s opening flap: “The world is charged with the grandeur of God…” – words that could have been written for this place”. Written by Kate Kellaway from the UK Observer who joined and reviewed this ride back in 2013.
Today with a few tweaks for its relaunch we are excited to continue offering our landmark Glacier Ride offering fast paced and challenging riding on fit Criollo horses in a truly magnificent setting. We guarantee no pony trekking! *If you prefer not to camp, see our equally stand out Estancia Ride.

Join an epic point to point wilderness ride while sleeping in a mix of tents, refuges, small hotels and comfortable yurts
Summary
This family run ride starts and ends in Bariloche. It is a great option for accomplished horse riders wanting to escape technology and ride out into isolated landscapes of Argentina’s Chubut region on agile & responsive Criollo horses. The ride runs for 8 days with some long days in the saddle and a mix of paces for those with experience. With scheduled departures throughout the season it can be an excellent option for solo travellers.

Combine chukkhas with an Argentine ranch experience as you learn this exhilarating sport from the experts
Summary
Argentina continues to be at the forefront of polo. The endless pampas produce some of the worlds finest polo players and ponies. The horses are bred for speed, stamina and agility, trained on Estancias by skilled stable hands. For experienced riders, polo combines the thrill of high speed horsemanship with the elegance and strategic finesse of a team sport and is highly recommended during your visit. Spend your mornings practicing your swing and learning the art of the game before an afternoon spent pool-side while juicy Argentine beef roasts on the burning embers nearby.
