ANDEAN ADVENTURE RIDE
7 NIGHTS | 8 DAYS
SEPT-APRIL
“A trip of a lifetime. The horses were well trained and cared for. I felt completely immersed in the breathtaking landscapes, from amazing mountains to charming local villages and haciendas.”
Horseback Riding in Ecuador. 8 Days beside volcanoes and crossing lunar-like landscapes
An exhilarating journey amidst the volcanoes; crossing lunar-like landscapes into the remote, seldom-visited val-leys behind the perfectly conical, snow-capped Cotopaxi volcano. A challenging ride, incredibly varied in both pace and terrain as we traverse valleys, grassy plains, lava flows & wetlands.
Ever changing scenery as we ride between unique lodges through
pastoral valleys then across the arid plains.
7 NIGHTS / 8 DAYS
ITINERARY
Nights are spent in a wonderful mix of working Haciendas, mountain inns & isolated farmhouses, built in a variety of materials including the traditional Adobe with thatched roofs and original Inca stone. One night is spent in little cottages in a hamlet, supporting a truly excellent local community project.
“The only way to truly capture the breathtaking nature of the Andes is to see it with your own eyes! Even the stunning footage online doesn’t do justice to the sweeping grasses, blankets of flowers, stark mountains, and swirling clouds. It is one thing to envision cantering through open plains, and another to actually feel the wind on your face, the energy of the horse underneath you, and the calls of the birds above. A ride like this is a privilege very few get the opportunity to take, so I felt so lucky to live out my childhood dreams!”
