A Gaucho Life

We had driven through acres and acres of vineyards with the snow-capped Andes in our sights. We climbed upwards bumping along a dirt track finally to arrive at the estancia - a simple, stone, family cottage - the perfect base for our adventures on horseback. 

Our final day - a spectacular ride almost to the foothills of the Andes. The air so crisp and clean and clear.

I know I’ll never be a true horsewoman - I’m too scared and I was the only one to actually fall off the horse (!). But riding in the Andes? What a truly incredible and unforgettable experience.
