We did the Gaciendas of the Andes ride and each overnight stop was a wonderful surprise. Sally Isa fantastic rider with very good horses.

Ride straight into the heart of the Andes. 🏔️🐎
Our Andean Adventure Ride is an exhilarating journey through volcanic landscapes that feel almost otherworldly. We first cross fertile farmlands where we regularly encounter local indigenous people wearing their colorful traditional dresses. Riding here we take our time to explore the northern valleys close to beautiful Cayambe, the countries second highest volcano. For the second part of this remarkable ride we head over to Cotopaxi National Park, where we ride through wide grassy plains, lava flows and wetlands, heading deep into the remote, rarely visited valleys hidden behind the perfectly conical, snow-capped Cotopaxi volcano.

This is a ride of contrast and variety, both in pace and terrain, designed for riders who love long days in the saddle and landscapes that constantly change.

At night, you’ll stay in a beautiful mix of haciendas, mountain inns and isolated farmhouses, built from traditional adobe, thatched roofs and ancient Inca stone.

Adventure by day, authentic comfort by night.

He just returned from our ride - this is what David says about his experience in Ecuador with us: “Our horseback riding adventure through the Andes was one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. Sally has spent more than 30 years in Ecuador, and her knowledge of the country, its history, culture, and people is extraordinary. The horses are beautifully trained, extremely well cared for, and matched thoughtfully to each rider. It is obvious that Sally genuinely loves both her horses and what she does. One of the things that impressed us most was the respect Sally has earned from the local Ecuadorian communities. Everywhere we traveled, we were warmly welcomed: The people of Ecuador are incredibly friendly, gracious, and welcoming, which added so much to the experience. Throughout the trip, we felt completely safe and well looked after. Each day is a true adventure, riding through spectacular Andean scenery and it is the perfect combination of adventure by day and relaxation at night. I would recommend this trip without hesitation. If you’re looking for an authentic way to experience Ecuador on horseback, with outstanding horses, breathtaking scenery, and an exceptional guide, this is an unforgettable journey.”

- David, Haciendas of the Andes Ride, August 2026

A safari outside Africa - experienced from the saddle.
There are few places in the world where riding and wildlife come together quite like Brazil’s Pantanal🐎🇧🇷

As the waters recede towards the end of rainy season, the wildlife remains concentrated around the dry land. Jaguars, giant anteaters, capybaras, caimans and an extraordinary variety of birdlife are all part of the experience - often encountered while you are simply going about your day on horseback🐆🐊🦜

Our journey through the remote southern Pantanal is a true point-to-point ride, taking you far from the crowds and deep into this remarkable wilderness.

What makes it particularly special is the people behind it. We have worked with our exceptional local guide for many years. Born and raised in the Pantanal, he knows the land, wildlife and horses intimately. Add excellent horse welfare, comfortable lodges and genuine local hospitality, and you have a riding experience that is both adventurous and wonderfully well cared for.

For riders looking for something truly different.

Ps.: Late May and early June truly is the perfect season to go; our group this year got lucky and could observe a jaguar from up close, next to countless other beautiful wildlife sightings.

One of the things that makes our Ecuador rides so special is the chance to experience two completely different worlds in a single journey🗻🐎🌾

Ride through the lush, rolling hills of the Zuleta Valley (first 8 photos and videos), where local indigenous women in their traditional dress are often part of the landscape as they go about their daily lives. Then venture into the vast volcanic wilderness of Cotopaxi National Park (last 3 photos and videos), where wild horses roam freely, there are no fences, and you can ride for hours without seeing another tourist.
This year, we still have availability on two of our Andean Adventure Rides - an unforgettable horseback journey through the Ecuadorian Andes. Along the way, you’ll stay in simple yet charming lodges that reflect the warmth and authenticity of the region.

One guest favorite is a family-run guesthouse owned by an indigenous family. Perched high above the valley, it offers breathtaking views, delicious home-cooked traditional meals, and a beautiful medicinal garden where your host is always delighted to share his knowledge of the native plants that have been used for generations.

Available departure dates:
🗓️ October 31 - November 7, 2026
🗓️ December 19 - 26, 2026

Want to experience a true horseback safari outside Africa?🐆🌿🦜☀️ Late May is one of the most magical times to experience Brazil’s Pantanal: As the rainy season comes to an end and the floodwaters slowly recede, wildlife gathers in the remaining dry areas, creating exceptional opportunities for unforgettable sightings.

Our guests this June were rewarded with an incredible close encounter with a jaguar, as well as giant anteaters, capybaras, caimans, countless bird species, and so much more.

Our journey takes you through the remote southern Pantanal, far from the crowds. Beginning at a remarkable working cattle ranch with outstanding conservation practices, this is one of the very few true point-to-point horseback rides in the region. Each day brings new landscapes, new wildlife, and a genuine sense of adventure.

Led by a local guide who was born and raised in the Pantanal, you’ll discover this extraordinary ecosystem through the eyes of someone who knows every trail, every bird call, and every hidden corner. Combined with exceptional horses, comfortable lodges, and authentic hospitality, this is a riding holiday unlike any other.

Join us for an unforgettable week in one of the world’s greatest wildlife destinations:
