On our trips, riders and horses enjoy nature at its best, and together they can reach the most remote corners.
Our guarantees

Your riding adventure is also an act of solidarity
Ampascachi donates 3% of each sale to Fundación del Azul, a foundation specialized in equine therapy. When you book any of our equestrian programs, a part of our profits will go directly to provide treatment to low-income or disadvantaged people, especially children from northern Argentina who otherwise would not be able to access this type of therapy. This contribution does not imply any additional cost for you, since it comes entirely from our profits.
