Horseback Riding Tropical Trail - 3 Day Tour

Itinerary:

Day 01: (5,5 hours)
From Quito we will drive to the Green Horse Ranch. We will have a guided horseback riding tour around the Cerro Pondona and we go to the Chaupisacha-Reservoir via Laharfelder.

We will ride through mountain-cloud forest and deep canyons until we get to the small Rio Blanco valley. The warm climate in this valley allows coffee, sugar cane and bananas to grow.

We will spend the night in the farmhouse Aguacatal which is a quite remote and very cozy farm. -/L/D

From high up in the mountains we will have a view over the valley from Rio Guayllabamba which we will follow upstream to the Hacienda Tanlagua and even further to our camp which is close to the Inca ruins of Rumicucho at the equator. B/L/D

Day 03 (4,5 hours)
We will make an excursion to the ruins of Rumicucho. Through hidden paths we will ride back on our horses to the dense forest of the Pululahua-crater. Return to Quito. B/L/-

The tours have been designed for 2-8 people who have a bit of previous riding experiences and are physically in good shape. While travelling it might sometimes be necessary to walk by foot in order to pass difficult parts of the tour. Travellers on this tour should not exceed 85 kg of body weight.

Equipment:
We will travel through different climate zones and after the sun has gone down the temperatures will fall tremendously. Therefore you need to bring light as well as warm clothes. During the day it is best to wear light clothes with long sleeves, which will protect you from the sun and bugs. A sweatshirt, a pullover or a fleece-jacket is recommended for the evenings and nights. Furthermore a jacket made of gore-tex or some other waterproof clothes, a hat with a wide brim, sport shoes and possibly riding boots are needed. You will get rubber boots from us. They are much better for short walks than riding boots. Please remember to bring insect repellent, sunscreen, sunglasses, camera, water bottle, flashlight and a sleeping back.

If you like to use a hard hat, please bring yours with you !!
