You stay at a walk among poplars, olive groves, and the Mendoza River country, with the Andes on the horizon rather than a mountain trail underfoot. 📋 Key Details Duration: about 1 hour 30 minutes in the saddle, around 4 hours including hotel pickup Location: Lunlunta, Maipu Pace: walk only, no trot or gallop Group size: shared departures, up to 23 guests Pickup: hotels in the designated Mendoza City area 🐎 What to Expect After hotel pickup you reach a rural post in Lunlunta, meet the horses, and run through sitting, reins, and how to ask for a halt. Then you ride about one hour 30 minutes along lanes lined with old poplars and olive groves, staying at a walk the whole way. The Andes sit on the horizon rather than rising under the hooves, so the outing feels like countryside rather than a mountain pass. You pass ground linked to the Mendoza River basin, with time to look at the trees and the dry light on the hills. After you dismount there is a short pause at the post before the drive back to Mendoza with the same vehicle. The full loop is around four hours, so the ride is the centre of a half-day rather than a long transfer. 📍 Location Lunlunta sits in Maipu, a short way south of Mendoza City, in working rural country rather than the Potrerillos river corridor. Poplars, olive groves, and low lanes give the ride a farm-and-foothill feel, with the Andes as a backdrop instead of the trail itself. You are close enough to the city for a same-day return, yet already off the grid of downtown streets. Mendoza City remains the start and finish. The drive is short enough to be back downtown the same afternoon, and long enough to watch the city give way to irrigation channels and tree lines before you mount. You are dropped where you started after you leave the saddle. ✅ Prerequisites No previous riding is required. The horses walk the whole route, and you get a short briefing before you mount. Everyday fitness is enough if you are happy sitting in a saddle for about one hour 30 minutes. Long trousers and closed shoes are required. You should be happy to follow simple instructions and stay in the group at a walk. This is not a lesson in trotting or a mountain expedition. ⭐ Why Choose Us Rural rides out of Mendoza have been part of this team's work since 1966, and Lunlunta is a regular walking-pace ou… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup within the designated Mendoza City area Guided horseback ride of about 1 hour 30 minutes at a walk Short riding briefing Horse and tack ### What’s not included Transport to a meeting point if you stay outside the designated pickup area Lunch Personal travel insurance ### Kit list Long trousers Closed shoes Sun protection, hat with a strap, and sunglasses Light layer Water bottle ## FAQs ### What is included? You ride about one hour 30 minutes through the rural lanes of Lunlunta, at a walk the whole way, with hotel pickup from the designated Mendoza City area. The horses stay at walking pace, with no trot or gallop. A short briefing on how to sit and hold the reins comes before anyone mounts. The full outing including transfers is around four hours from leaving Mendoza to being dropped back. ### How long is the ride? Time in the saddle is about one hour 30 minutes. The full outing, including hotel pickup and time at the rural post, is around four hours door to door. You return to Mendoza the same day. The ride sits in the middle of a short loop from the city, so you are not committing to a full mountain day. ### Do I need riding experience? No previous riding is required. The horses walk the whole route, and you get a short briefing before you mount. You should be happy sitting in a saddle for about one hour 30 minutes and following simple instructions. Everyday fitness is enough for this pace. ### What should I wear? Wear long trousers and closed shoes. Shorts, thin tights, flip-flops, and sandals are not allowed, because they rub or slip in the stirrups. Bring sun protection, a hat with a strap, and a light layer. The ride is in open countryside, so shade is limited once you leave the yard. ### Where do we meet? You are collected from hotels in the designated Mendoza City area, or from a nearby meeting point if you stay further out. Stays within about 1.5 km of Plaza Independencia are usually covered. The ride itself is in Lunlunta, in Maipu, a short way south of the city. You return to Mendoza with the same vehicle and are dropped where you started. ### How fast do the horses go? The horses stay at a walk for the whole ride. There is no trotting or galloping on this outing. That keeps the pace steady for first-time riders and leaves time to look at the poplars, olive groves, and the Andes on the horizon. If you want a longer mountain ride, look at the Potrerillos horseback day. ### Is lunch included? Lunch is not included. The pause at the rural post is for mounting, a short briefing, and a rest after you dismount rather than a sit-down meal. Eat before pickup if you usually want a proper meal midday, or wait until you are back in Mendoza. Bring water for the ride itself. ### What if the weather is poor? These outings run in typical dry-country weather. If the trails are not safe, the team may reschedule and will be in touch with the new plan. Sun and wind are more common than rain. A light layer and a hat with a strap matter more than a heavy waterproof, though a shell is still useful if the forecast looks changeable. ### Is there a guide? Yes. A guide stays with the group for the briefing and the whole walk along the lanes, so you are not left to find the line through the groves. Shared departures are typically one to 23 people. The ride is paced as a rural outing rather than a lesson in fast work. ### Is there a minimum age? Anyone joining should be able to sit in a saddle at a walk and follow simple instructions. Closed shoes and long trousers are required. If you are travelling with children, ask the team before you book so they can confirm the day's limits. This is a walking-pace ride, not a mountain expedition. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/01651736-3ad3-4403-b607-f2f390166cd1.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
