“If this trip was priced by the number of times we heard "amazing" and "incredible" from the group, I never could have afforded to go. This is one of those, 100 trips to take before you leave this world. One word for the trip ....... ‘AMAZING’ “. Mark., ACROSS THE ANDES Chile to Argentina.
"I couldn’t have chosen a better tour, the horses were without a doubt the best schooled horses I have ever ridden, unbelievably receptive and disciplined yet extremely keen to go. I can’t recommend Ride Andes highly enough for both advanced and novice riders, Sally’s horses are a total credit to her dedication and hard work, they are genuine, hard working spirited animals who are a pleasure to ride amongst the breath taking scenery of Cotopaxi. I will most definitely be riding on one of Ride Andes tours again!" GM, Feb 2010. ECUADOR.
"LOVED IT, BRILLIANT, SUPERB, LIFE CHANGING etc etc etc etc. The guide was fabulous. She was extremely friendly and conscientious and did a sterling job. Nothing was too much trouble for her …the organisation was perfection. Couldn't fault anything on the trip at all. Many many thanks for organising such a fab holiday." CJ, URUGUAY, March 2010. |

A note from
the English owner of Ride Andes:
When I first came to Ecuador
I was completely taken aback by the sheer wildness and
beauty of the Andean landscape. Although I had ridden
all my life, in many countries round the world, I had
never before experienced so many endless miles of open
country set against such startling contrasts of scenery.
So, in 1996 I moved from Europe to the equator to set
up horse riding tours with accommodation options varying
from the luxurious antique-filled manor houses (‘haciendas’)
to more remote farmhouses and hostals giving riders
a chance to discover the country's breathtaking natural
beauty and remarkable cultural heritage on horseback.
Since then, a variety of tours have been added on, including
along the coast in Uruguay
and across
the Andes from Chile to Argentina.
These unforgettable horseback journeys can be complemented
with a wide range of extensions including the Galapagos
Islands, Amazon rain forest, Patagonia, Iguazu Falls
in order to create the perfect holiday itinerary in
South
America. So, please take a moment to look through
our web site and do not hesitate to contact us for any
further information. The 'Ride Andes' team looks forward
to seeing you soon.
