Aventure exceptionnelle à cheval dans les paysages époustouflants d'El Calafate

Un tour à cheval absolument incroyable! Les paysages étaient à couper le souffle et notre guide était super sympa et informatif. Les chevaux étaient bien soignés et faciles à monter, même pour un débutant comme moi. Une expérience que je recommande à 100 % à tous ceux qui visitent El Calafate. Merci Tangol Tours pour ce moment inoubliable!
