Ecuador Andean Horse Riding Adventure
Video and Photos
About
This horse riding holiday takes you through some of Ecuador's most stunning high altitude scenery.
A route that takes riders into the remote Andes in the eastern foothills of the perfectly conical, snow-capped Cotopaxi volcano, across the seldom-visited plains in the National Park and also through the stunning verdant valleys of the Cayambe-Zuleta-Imbabura area north of Quito.
Highlights
- Cross a huge variety of scenic terrain, firstly riding across the patchwork of tiny fields on dirt tracks then riding through luna-like landscapes, picking up speed on vast grassy plains.
- Cross old lava flows dotted with rocks catapulted out from the erupting volcano, where only lichens grow and ride through rivers fed by snowmelt.
