, if at the end of a holiday you feel you could do it all over again

‘Uruguay
is an absolute gem. The lure of galloping along deserted sandy beaches
caught my imagination and the reality was just as good. As well
as glorious beaches, the ride takes in a variety of landscapes and
activities, making no two days the same.’

‘A
truly magical experience, wonderfully trained, good looking, strong
horses, beautiful Haciendas in stunning locations, plenty of good
tasty food …this truly was a fantastic, exhilarating riding

A note
from the 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 the summer of 1996 I moved from England
to the equator to set up both adventurous and more luxurious
horse riding tours to give visitors to Ecuador a chance to
discover the country's breathtaking natural beauty and remarkable
cultural heritage on horseback.
Since
then, a variety of tours throughout Argentina, in Chile and
in Uruguay have been added on.
These
unforgettable horseback journeys can be complimented 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 look forward to seeing you soon.
