My name is Carol Jones. I began organizing horseback rides in the Nahuel Huapi area in 1984. I was born and raised in Estancia Nahuel Huapi, and I speak both Spanish and English. I come from a long family tradition connected to horses and the Patagonian countryside. My grandfather, Jarred Jones, a Texan cowboy arrived in the region in the late 19th century, and since then our family has continued this passion for the outdoors.
In my twenties I spent time in Wyoming and Montana, where I learned more about horseback riding and guiding. When I returned home, my father encouraged me to start offering rides on the family Ranch by giving me four horses—without knowing it, that was the beginning of a great adventure.
Today, my two children, Jarred and Ailín, help me continue this family tradition and our love for horses and the countryside.
Our rides take place in the beautiful surroundings of the Nahuel Huapi National Park, exploring valleys, open steppe, rivers and forests, always accompanied by our reliable criollo horses, a native breed well adapted to the rugged terrain. Our saddles are traditional and feature a sheep skin for extra comfort.
We currently offer half-day rides, full-day rides, and overnight rides. We look forward to sharing with you the landscapes, horses, and traditions that have shaped our family for generations.
