Horse Riding in Lerma Valley

per person

Horse riding in Salta is just amazing. On the back of your horse you will get to see all kinds of landscapes and sleep in different towns. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know this region and its wonderful people and culture. Horse riding in Rodrigo’s place is the perfect holiday for horse lovers. With him you can also learn to work the cattle.

Horse riding in the Lerma Valley is the perfect short escape that will give you the whole picture of Salta and Northern Argentina.

Rodrigo is an expert horse riding guide. His place can be found in the Lerma Valley, near Cachi and Cafayate (the area of vineyards). Riding in Salta is kind of like riding in the far west. The desert, the cactus and the shape of the mountains reminds us of this area of the United States.

Location

The Lerma Valley can be found in the geographical center of the province. It covers the municipal sites of the Capital of Salta, San Lorenzo, Cerrillos, La Merced, La Caldera, Rosario de Lerma, Vaqueros and Campo Quijano. The flight from Buenos Aires to Salta is approximately 2 hours long. The province of Jujuy is just 1 and a half hours away so it’s possible to visit both provinces in just one trip.

Other activities for riders and non riders companions

Thanks to the proximity to the city of Salta, this 3 day ride gives the non riders companions multiple activities to do in the city. This is a place to walk: old houses with balconies and its flowers, old churches more than three centuries old, the colonial architecture of the whole place is admirable for everyone.

From the Legado Mitico Hotel you can walk to the Cathedral in just 10 minutes. This is an icon of the city and it’s worth going during the day and night. It has a Neo-Baroque colonial style and it was declared a national Historic Landmark in 1941.

Very near the Cathedral is the Alta Montaña Museum, also a must together with the Artisans Market and the Pasaje Cabildo, which is the best preserved in the country. It's also a nice picture during the day as in the night. It opens from Monday to Friday from 9 to 14 Hs and inside you can see Salta’s Historic Museum.

Salta is a lot of fun! During the night you can see the typical Folkloric Peñas with its dancing or visit the local restaurants in Balcarce Street where you can try the regional food or have a drink in one of the lovely bars. The Peña Balderrama is the most popular, it’s Salta’s most traditional folkloric show.

The non riders will be very entertained until the last night when they will meet the riders again in the city in the House of Jasmines farm.
