Weather
Central Chile enjoys an ideal Mediterranean climate, mild and temperate, the warmest months being November to February when temperatures reach 29ºC / 84ºF which is always very comfortable due to the lack of humidity. Nevertheless during this low mountain trek the temperature might drop considerably if the day is cloudy and the wind blows strongly, reaching temperature sensations of approx. 15ºC / 59ºF.

Physical Demands
This is the right trip for energetic people who like to be active and have a spirit of adventure and a positive attitude. To enjoy this trek it is essential to be in shape.

What you need to bring
Long pants, tennis or trekking shoes, wind-blocking fleece jacket, sun hat and sun screen.

The animals
The traveler will ride on Chilean horses that are on average shorter but not less strong than European ones. These animals are used to riding on rough and sloped terrain. Most of them are of daily use in many of the cattle duties so the best behavior shall be expected. The saddle, called Chilean saddle, has been adapted locally many years ago from Arab and Spanish saddles. It is lined in pork, cow or even carpincho leather that does not heat up in the sun and provides maximum comfort.
