Saturday: Plan on arriving in Bucharest before 4PM to take advantage of the transfer by minibus from Bucharest to Sinca Noua. Arrive at Equus Sylania and settle into your room. Get to know your guide and fellow riders as you learn about your upcoming adventure while you meet the horses. Afterwards a delicious welcome dinner will be served in the dining room.
The Patagonia Ride far exceeded our expectations on all fronts; the quality of the horses, the accommodations together with the food and the ride itself. The horses were fat, shinny, obviously well taken care of. Although well mannered, you did have to know how to ride and everyone on the ride was an experienced rider. The saddles were comfortable which was a good thing, since we spent up to six hours in them and as such you had to be in fairly good shape. The ride itself consisted of clamoring over steep rocky terrain and cantering through rolling meadows. There were spectacular views of the mountains which separate Chile and Argentina. Most of the time except for seeing deer, the occasional wild boar and emus and of course lots of cattle, you would ride for miles with no signs of civilization.
