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.
