Tour Overview
Explore Ecuador's volcanic Andes from the saddle, combining scenic horseback rides, authentic cultural encounters, and stays in historic highland haciendas. Begin in Zuleta, following the Condor Huasi route through Andean valleys before ascending toward Mount Cubilche, where farmland gives way to open páramo and volcanic landscapes. Continue south along the Avenue of the Volcanoes, riding the Zaquihua Loop in Los Ilinizas and discovering Ecuador's Chagra traditions beneath Rumiñahui Volcano. Explore Cotopaxi National Park along the scenic Manantiales Route before reaching Baños, where greener mountain landscapes, cloud forests, and the impressive Pailón del Diablo waterfall bring the journey to a close.
