The gauchos who will spend their summer up in the high mountains with their grazing herds are already moving their animals through Ranquilco on the spring arreyo’s to their familial lands. Riders who sign up for T.A. Carrither’s horse treks into the cordillera will have the opportunity to spend time witnessing this disappearing way of life. But spots are filling up fast!
UPDATES
Hugo Monterola, master stone mason and gaucho of these lands for 30 years will be joining T.A. on these trips. Not only is Hugo immensely knowlegeable about the cordillera, but he is an excellent camp cook and has many fans from previous pack trips.
