Discover the Sierras Chicas on Foot

While horses are very much at the heart of life here at Estancia Los Potreros, we also love to explore the landscape on foot. Stepping away from the saddle offers a different pace and a fresh way to experience the estancia. Whether it’s a walk down to the waterfalls for a refreshing swim, or a pursuit to spot a burrowing owl, there is always something to discover, often accompanied by one or two of our ever-enthusiastic dogs.

There are few better ways to spend a Sunday afternoon than wandering through the rolling hills of the Sierras Chicas. Walking allows you to slow down and truly take in the details of the landscape: red-bellied toads hidden among the rocks, seasonal wildflowers underfoot, great Andean condors flying overhead and the unmistakable scent of wild mint carried by a gentle breeze.

Anything is possible here. Guests can enjoy guided walks with members of the team, head off on a quiet solo adventure, or even join on foot to watch the gauchos work cattle from a completely different perspective. It’s a simple pleasure, but one that often becomes a favourite part of a stay; proof that sometimes the best way to explore the estancia is one step at a time.
