The journey continues descending through our native lenga forest along the southern slope of the mountain, culminating in the barbecue area of the ranch.
Horseback riding: We begin the tour crossing a mallín, to then climb the slopes of the mountain. After the first 30 minutes we will have views of the Centinella Valley and Torres del Paine. The route continues ascending until arriving to the high fields of the hill, where eventually the cattle of the ranch (cows) and wild animals like guanacos, hares, foxes, armadillos and skunks can be appreciated.
