Which one suits you best?

If you want to cycle and then eat well → I chose mountain biking with food. Less bike-like than the classic version, but it closes with the three steps in El Establo.
If you've never ridden a bike and want to try it → I chose the classic cavalcade. An hour and a half horseback ride through forests of ñire trees and streams, with no prior experience required and with a guide accompanying the entire route.
If you want the complete stay experience → I chose the Horseback riding with food. Add the Patagonian lamb to the grill at El Establo: it's the perfect choice for a day in the countryside.
If you prefer to move around on your own → I chose classic mountain bike. Two hours of cycling along little-used trails, at your own pace and covering more ground than on horseback.
