The Marcha — Marcha de Resistência

A 750km, 15-day long-distance riding competition at the Brazil–Uruguay border, competing alongside local gauchos on pure Criollo horses.

The Marcha de Resistência is one of the world's most demanding equestrian endurance races: 750km divided into 15 daily legs, held in the rugged Pampa landscape near the Brazil–Uruguay border. 


Horses are kept in a pre-race concentration on an Estância, fed only grass and water to ensure equal conditions. Each leg ends with a vet check identical to international endurance standards. 


Riders compete alongside locals in a true breed selection event for the Criollo horse — a breed shaped by 400 years of natural selection. 


The experience includes traditional gaucho culture, barbecues, music, and an interpreter throughout. 


All equipment, horse training, transport, and crew are included.
