Horse riding is a different way to know remote places and enjoy nature. In Bariloche you can visit Cerro Campanario through a winding mountain road.

To do this outing you must travel along Av. Ezequiel Bustillo until km. 15,500, turn to the left and drive three blocks to Tom Wesley´s complex from where these excursions leave.
An expert guide will tell you about the different animal and plant specdies you will see.
It is a short two hour ride through the foothills of Cerro Campanario and the forest around it.

The trail get near the summit, from where one has one of the most beautiful vistas in the area.
These horses are used to steep narrow trails.
Soon you will be in the middle of the forest among centenary trees, pasturelands and swamps, and as the horse climbs you will see lake Nahuel Huapi on your right.

The guide will tell you about the birds in the sector, and you might even see wild animals like guanacos, foxes, hares and skunks.
The ride goes on through a steeper hillside and it is important to follow the guide. In one sector you will be at the edge of the mountain and see the valley fully covered by plants and a narrow stream crossing through.
From the height you will see lake Moreno, El Trébol lagoon and Cerro López.

Excellent comfortable mounts will allow you enjoy the ride and not feel tired.
From the top of the mountain you can have pictures next to you adventure mates.

After some minutes you start riding back through a shortcut to the complex.
