Fun ride in Cotopaxi

Alexandra_G, Oct 2023

Ayrton, our guide, and our driver Santiago were absolutely wonderful! Beautiful landscape and very knowledgeable and friendly. Still enjoyed the ride even as experienced equestrians. Lunch was delicious as well.

Excellent experience

Deanna_M, May 2023

It was a truly exceptional experience! We had beautiful views of the volcano, the horseback riding experience was something not to be missed. The horses were calm and easy to ride even for inexperienced riders. Our guide Pedro was excellent, he provided a lot of information and was fun and friendly.
