Reviewed By Lundrm - La Paz, Bolivia
I am currently on a solo trip through South America, and not wanting to leave Argentina without spending some time on horse back, I searched for options that fitted my itinerary (and budget). After sometime googling I stumbled across Sayta, It had excellent reviews so I thought why not. I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome: Don Enrique the owner of Sayta takes a personal interest in all of his guests, dining with them every night, whilst issuing wine, humour and life advice in equal measure. We rode out for 2-3 hours in morning and the evening, through some beautiful countryside. Lunch was usually an enormous and delicious asado (barbeque) accompanied by plenty of wine; come dinner, which was usually a homecooked local dish, you'd be lucky if you had room.The horses were all extremely calm and well-behaved, which allows complete beginners to safely come out on rides. More experienced riders are allowed to canter and gallop, while beginners are given a taster of cantering with one of the Gauchos accompanying them (if they want to). In short, I can't wait to go back. If you're in the Salta area you absolutely must pay Don Enrique a visit!
