GUESTS’ COMMENTS ON THE TOURS:
ACROSS THE ANDES, CHILE TO ARGENTINA:
“The ride was spectacular from beginning to end. It was everything that we had hoped for and more. We had a lovely guide…From the organizational point of view everything worked like clockwork. The horses were excellent and the gauchos were all most helpful …
The scenery was spectacular and everyday had something exciting like crossing rivers, suspension bridges, steep climbs, staying in unique places like the island and even a rapid boat ride at the end.
I would highly recommend the ride. Thank you for making it happen it was stunning.” Jennifer.
COTOPAXI VOLCANO, COMPLETE CIRCUIT OF (COTOPAXI ADVENTURE), ECUADOR:
“Riding through the Avenue of Volcanoes in the Andes was without doubt one of the most spectacular things I have ever done.” Jamie.
“I have been on riding holidays all over the world and Sally's horses are the best I have ridden on holiday anywhere - so well-schooled, responsive and forward-going and immaculately turned out. The professionalism with which Sally ran the trip was quite amazing. All the logistics were superbly managed and the haciendas and farm houses at which we stayed were wonderfully chosen for their atmosphere and character. A perfect trip.” Peter.
EMERALD COAST, URUGUAY:
“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. As predicted, the organisation was perfection.
One of the best -- quite possibly THE best -- rides ever! A definite ‘Must Do’.” Clare.
COLONIAL HACIENDAS, ECUADOR:
“My husband and I recently travelled to Ecuador for a riding adventure through the mountains and valleys surrounding Quito. We have been on many riding trips in the past… We had no idea what a great time was in store for us! Sally Vergette and her team at Ride Andes delivered an unparalleled riding experience -- the scenery was gorgeous, the people were welcoming and friendly, the accommodations and food exceeded our expectations and the horses were well trained, responsive and clearly well cared for.
And, the riding…excellent! From riding along cobblestoned valley roads to fast-paced canters and gallops on the highland grasslands, we quickly realized that this was no “nose-to-tail” pony trek. What a great experience. This trip clearly was the best riding vacation we have taken and we credit its success to Sally’s high level of professionalism and genuine love for her horses and her adopted country. This is a “must do” trip and it must be done with Ride Andes.” Catherine.
