‘The estancia was incredible! It had 6,000 acres of land with 120 horses and 500 cattle. The gauchos and volunteers were fantastic and provided great service. The hospitality was amazing and the venue was like a storybook. I felt like a kid in a movie. We had a great time riding horses to the waterfalls where we took a dip. The cattle drive was also an amazing experience. And most of all, the evening rides were thrilling as we galloped like crazy! Mr. Beggs was a wonderful host who treated all his guests and staff with amazing kindness. My travel companions and I are already talking about planning a return trip!’

‘The Sierras Chicas ride is heaven on earth. The horses are a delight to ride, and our hosts didn’t skip a beat. Incredible food, a stunning location, gorgeous accommodation, and fun, varied rides made for a truly unforgettable experience. I loved that they catered for all levels of riders. If you’re thinking about taking a less experienced friend globetrotting, this is the place to go. My son was riding like a gaucho after three days, and there were plenty of opportunities to have a good canter or gallop for those who wanted to. The highlight, though, is the Peruvian Pasos, a stunning breed and the smoothest ride of your life. Argentina is an absolute must. I’ve booked my return trip already.’

‘I had an amazing holiday in Argentina! Kevin, his guides and horses are pros in the hospitality business. I rode a different horse every day. Each one was kind, patient, well trained and clearly loved its job. I especially liked riding the Peruvian Pasos – their fifth gait is so cool! The accommodation is quaint and comfortable. There is so much delicious food and wine for every meal and any moment in between. Before I left for the airport, I requested a sandwich to eat on the road. Not only did they make me one, but two! That speaks to the generosity and thoughtfulness of the family.
Kate and Laura were great. They patiently answered my questions and provided lots of helpful information. I will definitely use Globetrotting for my next horse vacation!’

‘A great way to experience a different breed of horse. Doing it in style and comfort with like minded people. Fantastic! The spacious, old-style rooms were very comfortable. I really enjoyed the barbeques. The service, environment and hospitality were excellent. I enjoyed the gait of the Peruvian Paso horses. My favourite experience was the afternoon when we mustered some cows and calves, separated the calves and then roped some of them. We then rode to the top of a hill to view a super moon rising, while enjoying drinks and nibbles.’

‘I was so happy with the Sierras Chicas ride. I would definitely recommend it! The food, service, horses and terrain far exceeded my expectations. We cooked in the kitchen with the chefs, which was a lovely surprise. The guides were absolutely amazing, and I’m glad that I got to ride with people who were at the same level as me!’

‘Trying polo was great fun and the full moon ride was very special. The guides and gauchos were lovely and great to ride out with. They were very good at looking after the group and the horses. It’s quite something to see the gauchos with their horses, and the bond between them. The pacey and varied rides were fantastic, and the horses were superb, beautifully trained and well cared for. I rode a different one every time, and all were great. My favourites were Chilenita, Rubia and Picante. If a week of total peace and quiet, clean air and excellent food and accommodation is your thing, with riding on superb horses thrown in, Sierras Chicas is the place to go.’

‘My ride in the Sierras Chicas, Argentina was fabulous. It was all amazing, however the polo days were a standout! The hosts, Lou and Kevin, went out of their way to ensure that I had a fantastic experience on the polo field. All the horses were fabulous, especially the Peruvian Pasos – so much fun. I wanted to bring a gaucho saddle home with me, they were amazingly comfortable, and the food and accommodation was amazing! You are certainly never going to go hungry whilst on this trip.’
