RIDE 2010 - 2011

Patagonia, is a wonderful part of the world! It is not only about wilderness, vast expanses, it is also about ecology, clear water lakes, people of the land, natural forests...
Riding in Patagonia is a way to get closer to nature, to venture into the woods, to follow a stream, to enjoy a good meal under the stars…

When you are not riding you can take a walk, relax by the river with a good book, try your luck fly fishing or go shopping in the village.
