Patagonia Horse Trips

Founder & Lead Guide

Founded — and Still Led — From the Saddle.

For more than twenty years, Osvaldo has lived the wild heart of Chilean Patagonia — its weather, its silences, its horses, and the people who know these valleys by heart.

He founded Patagonia Horse Trips to share that world with a rare few, and still rides at the front of every journey — choosing each horse, reading the sky before each ride, and setting the unhurried pace that turns a journey into something you keep for life.

To ride with Osvaldo is to be in the most knowing hands in Patagonia.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Patagonia.

— Osvaldo Mella
