  Colonial Haciendas, Andes Ecuador.  Historic haciendas we stay at and visit.
 
   

COLONIAL HACIENDA TOURS
Set date departure rides & private rides between the historic haciendas in two stunningly beautiful but very distinct areas of the Ecuadorian Andes. Market & other visits included. A real insight into local life as we ride between patchwork fields in pastoral valleys then ascent onto the wild open plains of Cotopaxi, the snow-capped Andean peaks providing a magnificent backdrop.
Consult the Colonial Haciendas page.

RIDING LESSONS & SPANISH LESSONS
Professional riding lessons in an indoor riding school. Very relaxed but a lot to offer riders of all levels.
Spanish lessons, one to one, in Quito – we work with two very reputable schools.

‘I never expected to find such a high standard of riding facilities and teaching in Ecuador. Kira is extremely modest and omits to tell you that she regularly competes in classes with Ecuador’s top riders. She has the great skill of being able to put you at your ease, whilst homing in on those irritating things you know could be better. Encouraging on good points and fun to learn with, I had a fantastic day.’ SH, Dec ’06

‘I would be astonished if there was anything she didn’t know about horses and riding. Anything! Her love of horses and the sport shines through. She was a wonderful teacher, patient and very helpful. She took a person who hardly knew one end of a horse from another and after only one afternoon’s work felt confident enough to go out on a hack.’ CH Sept ‘06

NON RIDING TOURS
We have a large selection of options to combine with your riding tour –from a Galapagos Island Cruise to an Amazon lodge stay. Relaxing or ‘sporty’: hidden haciendas, natural hot springs, mountain biking & white water rafting).
