Ecuador Adventure Tours

As we only use reliable, good-natured horses from which some of them are extremely calm and other ones full of temperament, our tours are suitable for beginners and children as well as for experienced riders.
Nevertheless we rather advise beginners to take short tours because the unusual muscular demands and concentration while riding can become demanding in the long run. For longer rides you should have at least some experience, a good physical shape as well as a healthy thirst for adventure.
On most tours partly difficult sections must also be overcome by foot. The weight of the participants should not exceed 195 pounds.

In the Andean highland, some 10 miles North of the capital Quito, the 4000-year dormant volcano of Pululahua is situated. You have the opportunity to discover this exciting landscape on horseback, right into the furthest corners of the crater, passing by deep gorges, rushing mountain streams yielding warm volcanic springs, eroded lahar fields blooming with wild orchids, deserted chalk mines and tropical mountain forests In addition, Pululahua is the starting point for many interesting rides in the surrounding area. ..>> |

You will leave westward the Pululahua Craterto make your way to the Maquipunca Nature Reserve. On your way, you will enjoy a close look on "Cerro Portalanza", a pre-Inca site that has been abandoned 600 years ago. On the third day you will leave the horses behind and hike along an old smuggler's path, through thick jungle and narrow hollow earth tunnels, down to the Maquipucuna Nature Reserve..>> |

Once on your horses, you enter a tropical climate with a lot of bamboo, sugar cane and banana trees along the way, until you start climbing gently but continually in order to leave the crater to the south-west to the Mindo Cloud Forest Accommodation in a more than 300 years old beautiful colonial hacienda and a hot evening meal await you, next to the volcanic springs of El Cachaco. Bring your bathing dress for the mineral water Jacuzzi! Some extensive canters along fields and pastures make your way shorter this time. ...>> |
