Diego was our guide, he was great. Dante was also great, both went above and beyond. The views and experience was very memorable. 15,000ft up in the Andes is quite an experience.
Fantastic, Ask for Angel
Stuart_S, May 2022
Our guide Angel was the best. He picked us up at the hotel at 8 AM, took us straight to the Gondola trip, and then to meet the horses. He knew everyone, was patient with me and my acclimation to the altitude. He knew exactly what to do at any point in time. Angel was knowlegeable and we had a a fantastic day.

Fabulous Quito adventure while riding horses. It was an excellent way for older travelers to enjoy breathtaking views without hiking to 14,000 ft.
