Half-day Horseback riding, Laguna de los Patos, Tilcara, Jujuy

Join me on this horseback riding adventure to Laguna de los Patos. Discover this marvellous place near the charming town of Tilcara, in the province of Jujuy, northern Argentina.

The itinerary I suggest will begin riding towards the Rio Grande, passing through Tilcara, until we reach the Laguna de los Patos. Then, we will head back using the Malka river, passing by and admiring local houses and fincas.

This mesmerizing lagoon was formed over an upland, with the most majestic mountains and hills of differents shapes and colors. And, even though a desert surrounds it, it is an incredibly lush area, used for cultivating. Here, the tranquility is only interrupted briefly by the wind blowing or the song of a bird. It is a true Eden on Earth that seems to have come out of a dream.

More than 20 species of aquatic birds visit this lagoon daily, especially different kinds of ducks. Hence its name, which means the Lagoon of Ducks.

Located only 2 kilometers outside of Tilcara, near Pucara, it is very accessible through the road near Rio Grande. Thus, the horseback riding we’ll experience will be gentle and peaceful. Yet, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking sceneries in the country.
