Sayta Ranch - Cabalgatas Salta
Horseback Riding Trips
Ruta 61 Camino Las Moras, Chicoana, Salta, Salta
Sayta Ranch Cabalgatas is a rural and equestrian tourism establishment located in Chicoana, a few kilometers from the city of Salta, offering horse riding in Salta and a range of countryside experiences centered on the gaucho culture of northwestern Argentina. Set on an old farmhouse surrounded by animals, plants, and fruit trees, Enrique Carbia and his team share the traditions and way of life of the Salta gaucho with every visitor.
The offering at Sayta Ranch is organized around two main pillars: horse riding in Salta and cultural and gastronomic experiences. On the riding side, the establishment provides options suited to different skill levels and available time:
• Half-Day Horse Ride: an accessible, shorter trail suitable for first-time ridersvisitors with limited time who want an introduction to horseback riding through the rural landscapes around Salta.
• Half-Day Horse Ride with Asado: pairs a horse ride with a traditional Argentine barbecue out in the countryside, blending local cuisine and nature in a single outing.
• Full-Day Horse Ride: a complete day on horseback exploring the surroundings of Chicoana in greater depth.
• Full-Day Horse Ride with Mountain Picnic: designed for experienced riders, this trail follows old mountain paths and includes a lunch break in the open air.
• Full-Day Horse Ride with Night at the Farm: combines a full day of riding with an overnight stay at the property, offering a more immersive rural experience.
• Long-Distance Horse Rides: multi-day circuits for travelers seeking an in-depth journey through the valleys and landscapes of northern Argentina, including an eight-day route from Chicoana to San Carlos crossing the Lerma Valley and the Calchaquí Valleys.
Beyond horse riding, Sayta Ranch offers experiences that complement rural tourism in Salta from a cultural perspective. The Regional Cooking Experience teaches guests to prepare traditional northwestern dishes such as Salta-style empanadas in a countryside setting. The Cooking and Countryside Day expands that concept into a full day of gastronomic activities and farm life. The Tobacco Circuit takes visitors through the tobacco fields of the Chicoana area — one of the region's main crops — with a local guide. The Sunset at the Farm with Overnight Stay includes an evening horse ride and the option to spend the night at the property. A recently added activity is the handmade cigar rolling experience using local tobacco, a one-of-a-kind artisan activity in the region.
Accommodation at the farm is available for guests choosing programs that include an overnight stay, allowing them to spend the night on the property and continue the rural experience the following day. Sayta Ranch Cabalgatas holds the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice 2025 distinction, which positions it among the most highly rated destinations in Argentina for rural tourism and outdoor activities.
