Horseback Riding in Ecuador. 8 Days in Beautiful Highland Haciendas
Following trails across verdant valleys of patchwork fields, through forests then onto the open plains to gallop with the wild horses beneath the snow-capped Cotopaxi Volcano we ride between fabulous highland haciendas. Varied pace, incredibly diverse scenery, ending each unforgettable day at a unique, idyllic location.
“A truly unique experience. Every detail is carefully choreographed. The food is always yummy. Each horse was very fit, well behaved…The scenery is beautiful with the terrain ever varied.”

“I just returned from my dream vacation with Ride Andes in Ecuador. I wasn't sure what to expect as I didn't know Ecuador well, but was delighted with the exhilarating rides on exceptional horses in this breathtaking country. Sally is a fantastic operator and guide, paying attention to every detail to ensure everyone is thoroughly satisfied with the experience, from finding the perfect horse to securing gorgeous and comfortable places to stay after a day in the saddle. And the nice thing is it was really easy to bookend the trip with Ride Andes with visits to the Amazon and Galapagos, as everything is so accessible in Ecuador. I can't recommend this trip enough.”
