Aventura a caballo con vistas espectaculares en Calafate

¡Qué experiencia increíble fue la Cabalgata Río Mitre! Desde el momento en que montamos los caballos, sentí una conexión con el paisaje que nunca había experimentado. Los guías fueron súper amables y nos contaron historias fascinantes sobre la zona. Las vistas al Glaciar Perito Moreno mientras cabalgábamos fueron simplemente alucinantes. La tranquilidad del entorno y la majestuosidad de los Andes hicieron que el tiempo volara. Definitivamente recomendaría esta aventura a cualquier amante de la naturaleza.
