Ecuadorian Andes, Paramo and Cloud forrest rides

We organize the most interesting multiple day horse rides. Crossing the different regions of the Ecuadorian territory, you will enjoy various hidden places that no other type of transportation will achieve. Enter intriguing steep paths along various flora and fauna landscapes. Notice the vast cloud forest areas. These are essentially elevated rainforests that receive all of the moisture from the clouds. The result is an rich lush habitat that covers thousands square kilometers and hosts hundreds of stunning hummingbirds, tanagers, exquisite orchids, enchanting moss covered trees, crystal clear waterfalls, and other natural sights.
The Ecuadorian Andes are a magnificent display of a collapse of tectonic plates millions of years ago, due to its particular heights we can find numerous and varied snow peaks, as well as, nice paramo lands. Ecuador is located at the Pacific Ring of Fire, this is an enormous and powerful volcanic range, therefore Ecuador has the most amazing side by side volcanic elevations in South America. Riding through the paramos is once in a lifetime experience. The “Chagras” or “local riders” will take you to the most amusing paths at thousands of meters of altitud. Visit the beautiful haciendas, get in contact with the locals lifestyle and taste the delightful Andean gastronomy.
