Horse riding in Uruguay - Emerald Coast


Uruguay is a country the size of England and Wales with a charming, warm, friendly population of just 3 million - and it's perfect for horse riding holidays

Uruguay has an ideal, temperate riding climate - warm enough to ride in light shirts, but not so hot that mosquitos are a real problem - and an unexpectedly diverse landscape. In short, a little-known destination made for riding!

You ride along deserted sandy beaches, between sand dunes and into pine forests, around fresh water lagoons, through palm groves and across grasslands.

Afternoons and evenings are spent in idyllic settings; after enjoying gourmet lunches, you journey on to the comfort of traditional estancias and working farms for a great feed and sleep.


Gauchos and wildlife

We are accompanied by skilled gauchos, seeing a large variety of wildlife along the way as we pass through an unexpected mix of landscapes.

Previous riders have spotted Franca whales, dolphins, turtles, sea lions and more than 100 species of birds during the tour.

Pre/post tour extensions in Uruguay and Buenos Aires/Argentina are also available.

Please contact the office for more information.
