Art In Patagonia with Davina Bosanquet: 25th - 30th November

For November 2013 we have scheduled a very special oil painting course in Patagonia with inspirational English artist Davina Bosanquet.

With the luxurious San Huberto Lodge as our delightful home-from-home, we will enjoy instruction on portraiture, landscapes, and painting animals, magnificent views, spring flowers and an introduction to the hugely welcoming Argentinean culture. This all-inclusive exclusive offer is limited to just eight artists. Davina will introduce her oils technique to beginners, and if you are experienced and already have your own style she will be swapping notes and painting alongside you. Davina will be tutoring in oil as her preferred medium, however she is more then happy to accept artists who specialise in other materials such as watercolour and drawing materials as she has a wide knowledge in all mediums.

Dates: 25th - 30th November 2013 

Meeting point: San Carlos de Bariloche Airport - 10:30am, 25th November 2013 (or a Bariloche hotel pick up at around 09:30 on the same day if you would like to arrive prior)

Estancia to Estancia in Chile

Riding With A Roof, Torres Del Paines National Park, Chile 

In late October 2013 we will be beginning another very special Riding With a Roof program for the spring and summer: this time at the breathtaking Torres Del Paines National Park. 

With accommodation in comfortable hotels and authentic estancias throughout, we will enjoy extraordinary access on horseback to the vast expanses of southern Chile and unforgettable views of the Torres del Paine mountains, during four full-day rides (or nine in our ten-day full length version!) marvelling at the grandeurs of the Paines mountains, glacial rivers and sparkling deep blue lakes, as well as a visit to the extraordinary Glacier Grey, which never fails to impress.





Spring Riding With A Roof - end October / November

For Spring 2013 we have a new non-camping program of five full-day rides, visiting private properties in the stunning area of San Martín de los Andes and the Lanin National Park. Each day will offer new perspectives of the mountains, visiting some of the biggest lakes in the area and others more hidden away. We also enjoy the contrast of the fascinating Steppe (desert) and its beautiful rivers, as well as its highest viewpoints. The lay of the land in this area of the Patagonian Lake District offers lots of variety and wonderful views, as well as some areas where we can have a gallop.
