Is dit iets voor jullie?

Voor wie het is

History-minded visitors, couples and families with school-age children follow a young gaucho, Joaquín Moreno, helping defend the town from French pirate Hipolito Bouchard, past the Presidio, Casa de la Guerra and the Mission. The Spanish-era adobes and gardens come as a story, not plaques. The 4.7 km loop takes 1.5 to 2 hours in the sun, so toddlers or anyone wanting a docent to question should pick something else.

Veelgestelde vragen

What is the gaucho walk in Santa Barbara about?
You play Joaquín Moreno, a young gaucho who teams up with historical figures to protect the town from the French pirate Hipolito Bouchard. Along the way the app tells the stories of early 19th-century California at each stop and sets a puzzle in the place in front of you.
Where does the walk start and how long does it take?
It starts and finishes at the Santa Barbara Mission, so it is a loop. The route is about 4.7 km and takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, passing Alice Keck Park Memorial Garden, the Hill-Carrillo Adobe, the Rose Garden, the Courthouse, Casa de la Guerra and the Presidio.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is tagged family friendly and suits school-age children who enjoy a pirate story and solving puzzles based on what they can see around them. Keep in mind the 4.7 km distance, which may be too much for very young children.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group or take a break?
No booking slot is needed: start whenever you like, alone or with others, and one ticket covers your whole group up to the number of devices stated. You can pause and continue later. The route is open 24/7, though it is better in daylight.
Is it all outdoors, and what should we bring?
The walk is outdoors through downtown streets, gardens and historic sites. Wear a hat and sunscreen, carry enough water, and make sure your phone is fully charged or bring a power bank, since the app guides you the whole way.
