Crossing the Andes Mountain Range - 6 days
Duration
6 days
Overview
-
The horseback riding "Crossing the Andes Mountain Range", starts in Argentina and ends in Chile.
This expedition crosses the international border on horseback. We will ride above 4380 meters to cross the famous "Portillo Argentino".
Duration: 6 days / 5 nights (05 days in the mountains on horseback).
The high mountain pass "Portillo Argentino" 4380m. (located in the Argentinean Range), is the gate to an old trail used by 'arrieros' (muleteers) and travelers, such as Charles Darwin and General San MartÃn, to cross the Andes. From this steep col at 4.380 meters of altitude, the path descends into a world where an ancestral culture of horsemen and mountain people is still alive, in harmony with the wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.
We are going to follow the history path, of those who bravely transited these mountains two centuries ago, integrating the columns of the Army of the Andes led by "Liberator General San Martin"
