From Santiago, travel to Papudo to begin your experience at "Los Lilenes" beach. Here, horses await to take on a scenic ride across hills and sweeping ocean views.

Continue your journey with a coastal boat trip to "Lobos" island. This natural sanctuary is home to sea lions, cormorants, pelicans, and Humboldt penguins. Observing them in their natural habitat is a deeply moving experience that connects you with the essence of the ocean.

A day of nature, adventure, and deep connection with wildlife, led by local experts and crafted to showcase the best of central Chile’s coast. Family-friendly: children as young as 3 can join the ride accompanied by an adult on the same horse, while children aged 5 and up can ride their own horse.

If the boat excursion cannot be operated due to adverse weather, an extended horseback ride will take place, and a trail hike to a Humboldt penguin and marine wildlife viewpoint will be added
