How to load a mule: Horseback riding mountain camping in the Andes near Santiago, Chile
Chilean arrieros prepare for a horseback ride into the Andes mountains near Santiago for a camping trip, With thanks to Rigo and Leo, expert arrieros living and working in the foothills of the Andes in the Cajon del Maipo, near Santiago, Chile.

Mule camping
Horse riding with camping in the Andes mountains near Santiago depends on having not only horses but also mules. Mules are used to carry the heavy loads of food and drink and camping equipment -- tents, sleeping bags, air-mattresses - needed for even just one night's camping. There are no roads in this part of the mountains, apart from an occasional badly rutted and damaged track just passable with a powerful 4X4 vehicle. Horses are not used much in Chile as pack animals as they are mostly too valuable and also not as agile or strong as mules. Mules are bred from a donkey father and a horse mother and they cannot reproduce. The 'machos' or males are especially strong and can carry 120 kilos or more 0n their backs.
However, they have to be skilfully loaded to make the baggage secure and to avoid giving the mules sores from the rubbing of the ropes and harness. Arrieros, Chilean cowboys, must have this skill, which distinguishes them from others who may be excellent horsemen but cannot handle mules. Mules are also more temperamental and bad tempered than horses. They can be dangerous to riders on horseback along the trail, as they tend to bash around knocking things with the loads that they are carrying. If it is a big ride with several mules they will probably travel separately with a muleteer, to keep them out of the way of the riders. However, the joys of camping in the mountains cannot be experienced without some trustworthy hard-working mules to take up all the equipment. When we go on long rides we take everything with us. Dozens of cans of beer, boxes of wine and pisco sour, water for the tourists, all food for several days, sometimes feed for the horses and mules although at certain times of year these can be let loose overnight on the mountainside to forage for themselves.
The mules tend to attach themselves to a mare, who is known as the 'madrina' or godmother. She wears a bell round her neck so that the mules can be found if they have wandered a little way in search of pasture. If it is thought that they will wander, perhaps because there is not much grazing, she may be tied up so that they will not stray too far. Mules are said to be very comfortable to ride and more sure footed than horses. For that reason although tourists are not usually given them as mounts, you may well see and arriero guide riding on a mule. The paths are steep and sometimes narrow, in between rocks. There are few wide trails as in mountains which may be more accessible, less wild, than the Andes. This is difficult for the heavily laden mules. Sometimes the men take them on a different and easier route, perhaps going further round difficult parts of the trek to make it possible for the mules.
Camping on horseback in the Andes mountains is a pleasure almost impossible to describe, and it is not really possible without mules and men who know how to load them skilfully. . Although not all our rides go up to within touch of the snow we have special rides that do. The mule in our video is not blindfolded as it is a very quiet and rather old mule, but it is actually customary to blindfold them before loading as they react badly if they see a load approaching, but do not seem to mind as long as they do not see it. A true arriero often has a piece of cloth tied round his waist, for use with mules.
Because the skill with mules is rare and also important, the sign of a true arriero, we take you with 'arrieros de la zona'. They are local skilled cowboys with long experience with mules, learnt as boys on journeys with their fathers who were almost always arrieros as well. They worked horses and mules when agriculture depended on those methods. They also worked for the mines in the Andes, of which there were many, carrying materials up and down in tricky terrain. There are still mines of copper, and yeso. In the old days there were even small gold mines as well, and many small family mines. These have mostly gone and are replaced by big international conglomerates with roads and heavy machinery.
Our rides with mules and horses take place in other parts of the mountains near Santiago where heavy machinery cannot pass and most tracks are not much wider than a metre at most. In winter the snow is on the surrounding peaks and the views are spectacular.

My Filmmaking Workshop ►
GH5 Cinematic - My Brother and I have always dreamed of riding horses across South America and when we stumbled upon some crazy photos of the Chilean Cowboy Danilo online we knew we had to commit to this idea.
We spent 10 days helping a real Arriero (Chilean Cowboy) move 56 of his semi-wild horses 300km from his farm at a low elevation to another pasture at 9000ft in the Chilean Andes. We had no horse experience before this trip and it turned into one of the most memorable trips of our life. This is a glimpse into our time on this adventure.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

Lasso lesson with Horse Riding Chile
We hope you enjoyed this video. If so please like or share. If you would like to know more about horse riding in Chile visit our website -
FAMILY TRIPS ON HORSEBACK
Our guide Rigo gives a lesson in lassoing to a young visitor, and then shows him how it is done. This took place on a ride with horseridingchile.com. We thought of calling it 'How to lasso your child' as the child ends up caught by our arriero head guide, Rigo. This took place on a family ride into the Andes near Santiago. Horse riding in the Cajon del Maipo - the green lung of Santiago Chile is a wonderful experience and can be tailored to suit families with young children, first-time riders and also the experienced riders who want to ride faster and further into the beautiful landscapes and scenery of these mountains.
CAMPING VACATIONS ON HORSEBACK - one night or more
We also take camping trips which can go further and higher into the mountains and give a special experience of sleeping under the amazing stars of the Andes of South America. Chile has some of the clearest skies in the world and although we are near Santiago, the night skies are amazing. We always stop and set up camp near a river or mountain stream so that there is water for the horses and for cooking round the campfire. In some seasons it is possible to bathe and even do a little fishing with artesan type equipment. On longer trips into the mountains the lasso is used for real as the horses are left out at night often, to graze freely. They need to be caught in the morning, sometimes involving exciting theatre as the guides use their lassos.
OUTDOORS IN THE ANDES
Here in the Cajon del Maipo near Santiago Chile the Andes, one of the youngest and highest mountain chains, are at their most accessible. We take Day Rides out of the city, things to do and an experience of the real Chile in the country, outdoors. We also sometimes go higher into the mountains where the adventure includes multiple colours of minerals in the rocks, cold lakes to bathe in and in summer myriad flowers and, near water, birds. Sometimes there is time to visit the Hot Springs of Colina as well - or on another day.

After doing the full circuit hike in Torres del Paine we stayed for 4 days more at the Hotel Las Torres to explore the other sides and viewpoints of the national park we haven’t seen yet. One of the best options to see various sights in just one day is the Full Paine tour in Torres del Paine which follows the road inside the park and takes you to some very stunning viewpoints e.g. at the Pehoe lake and the Lago Grey.
At the end of the road you can opt-in for a boat excursion on the Lago Grey to see the Grey Glacier up close. The boat trip isn’t cheap but the views to the glacier are incredible! Other great day tours are:
day hike to the base of the torres / mirador base de las torres
day hike / horseback ride to the top of Cerro Paine (aka Huella de Puma)
half day tour to Laguna Amarga & Laguna Azul
horseback ride along the Lago Nordernskjöld
day hike to Refugio Los Perros
This part of the trip was executed within 4 days and this is what we saw:
- Torres del Paine National Park
- Hotel Las Torres
- Cerro Paine
- Hosteria Pehoe
- Southern Patagonian Ice Field
- Salto Grande
- Laguna Amarga
- Laguna Azul
- Campo Hielo Sur
- Glaciar Grey / Grey Glacier
- Refugio Grey
- Hotel Lago Grey
- Lago Nordernskjöld
- Base Las Torres
- Valle Ascencio
- Lago Pehoe
It was a pleasure to share all our experiences in Patagonia in this video series. You can find all information needed to replicate our trip or parts of it on my website.
The Patagonian Expedition is a 95% self funded video documentary project following my trip in 2012/2013. Our aim is to show you the beauty of the rather unknown parts in Patagonia alongside with the famous spots.
Beside beautiful landscape you can expect loads of information and our personal experiences and struggles along the way.
