Built in 1691, the Hacienda Zuleta is a dream resort in Argentina for the horse lover. You can be part of numerous daily activities around the hacienda's equestrian centre: foals are born, weanlings are nurtured by their mothers, stallions strut when herd of mares come by, and the horsemen train young colts and fillies or refine canter aids in the ring.
Go visit the different herds in the fields, or encourage the playful foals to canter with you. Every horse is known for its specialities. Some have advanced training in dressage and Spanish riding others in taking perfect care of small children, and you will be able to pick your favorite horse of the herd, for your whole stay, or just for the day´s activity.
As the Hacienda consists of thousands of hectares of farm land, pasture and forest, including rivers, mountains and a huge paramo reserve, you can spend full days just riding from one end to the other and exploring all the valleys, slopes and hills.
The majestic Andean condor will be flying above you and you can observe them up close at Zuleta´s Condor rehabilitation centre. You can meet foxes and spectacle bears on the trails in the forest, alpacas and thousands of sheep up on the high plateaus and definitely hundreds of big dairy cows on their walk to the milking sheds.
