Day 2: In the morning we ride to the Mapuche Indian Community,
Quelhue, and along the rapids of Trancura River to evaluate our
riding experience, get familiar with saddle and tack and to determine
which horses to take on our great adventure. In the evening we drive
to our base camp at laguna Geppinger, from were we start our ride
the following day.
Day 3 to 6: We ride through virgin rain forests, rough ranges,
passing by crystal clear mountain lakes, along sparkling creeks.
On the 3rd day we reach the natural hot springs of Rio Blanco were
we build our camp for the night. The camps we build beside rivers
and lakes. These trails lead mostly through the National Park Huerquehue,
the National Forest reserve Villarrica and the Mapuche Indian Communities
of Reigolil and Icalma.
Day 6: Today we meet with civilization again, riding through the
small Mapuche settlement of Icalma, were we arrange custom formalities
with the Chilean border control, before heading into the mountains
to cross the border to Argentina. Here we say goodbye to our Chilean
horses and the guides that lead us to this magnificent place, cross
the border 10 meters on foot, and welcome Hernan and his wonderful
Argentinean horses. Hernan and his horses will guide us for the
next 3 days through the unique part of the world, in the Argentinean
Andes.
Day 7 to 9: Today we ride the valleys and cliffs, watch condors
pass us by, catch trout out of clear rivers, cross several streams
and enjoy amazing views over the endless wide open spaces of this
uninhabited part at the end of the world. On the evening of the
8th day we reach the outpost were Hernan lives with his horses,
marking the end of our journey. With a typical Argentinean barbecue
we let the day end, and reminisce about all the adventures and impressions
of this once in a lifetime experience.
Day 10: Transfer from Hernan's place back to Pucòn, Chile
were we pick up the luggage we left behind and say farewell and
the horses that carried us in Chile. If you prefer, you may finish
the trip in Argentina, and keep on traveling or riding some more
days in the Argentinean pampas.
Note:
The cabin to cabin ride follows the same trail, but in the evenings
we get further down into the valleys, therefore have more contact
with civilization.
