Horseback riding day tours in Mendoza For this spectacular horseback riding day tour in Mendoza, we will start by driving to the base of the Mountains of Cordon del Plata Park, around 80km southwest of Mendoza. On the way, the route offers superb views of the highest mountains, El Plata and the imposing Tupungato volcano. The Ranch House is located at the foot of the Cordon del Plata mountain range and at the heart of the Natural Reserve of the same name.  When we arrive, authentic gauchos will be waiting for us ready to take us further into the mountains on horseback, a fantastic way to explore the valleys and towering mountains of the Central Andes of Mendoza.
