Living the Gaucho life... which basically consists of horses, wine, steak and music!
A horse riding trip with Reto Cabalgatas in an experience not to miss. No luxury, no ranch and not at all 'touristy'.
We started our trip into the mountains by making an offering to Pacha Mama. After heading up the trail, glimpsing beautiful mountains through the trees, and listening to Tono playing on his flute or harmonica, we came out into the open to be greeted by the most incredible view. There we were, high up in the mountains, with not a soul around. All around us was lush greenery and mountains, a huge lake, and, if we looked carefully, we could just about see the stream from where we started. I found it hard to believe we had come up so far. We moved into a shaded clearing for a lunch of cheese, salami and bread, all cut using Tono's gaucho knife, and his leather chaps as a table cloth.
That night we stayed in a Gaucho hut that was certainly authentic; it had been in Tono's family for over 50 years.
We had an amazing asado - with some of the nicest beef I've ever eaten. None of us had plates or cutlery, it was all cut up on the chopping board and we all ate from that.
After much wine, singing, music and chatting (as well as a few more layers of clothing) we were all ready for bed.
The next morning we got up early and, although we didn't quite make the sunrise, the mists hanging over the mountains, and the colours of the early morning clouds were beautiful and breathtaking. As we huddled with our sleeping bags wrapped round us, the clouds came over the mountains behind us and the feeling was magical.
I hadn't planned to go horse riding in the mountains, but I'm glad I did. I can honestly say that it was one of the best experiences of my life.
