Horse Packing: Chile's arrieros and huasos (cowboys) have been traveling in the Andes Mountains for years. We join these true personalities in their favorite environment as they show us what their people have loved to do for generations. After hearing the stories and seeing these beautiful people and places, you will surely want to go home with the unique hilean chupalla (sombrero) and manta (woolen poncho) and also with memories of the wild frontier.
