Andean Equestrian Heritage
Ride through centuries of tradition across Ecuador's majestic Andean highlands. Three historic haciendas where chagra culture, volcanic landscapes, and timeless hospitality converge.
Ecuador's Andean highlands have been home to a rich equestrian tradition since the Spanish conquest, when horses first arrived on South American soil. The chagras — Andean cowboys — have preserved this heritage through centuries, working the land alongside their horses amid towering volcanoes, high-altitude páramos, and fertile valleys.
Our curated equestrian experiences invite you to discover this living tradition through three exceptional haciendas, each with its own distinct character. From flower estates with mountain panoramas to colonial properties once walked by Simón Bolívar, every ride tells a story of Ecuador's land, people, and enduring connection to the horse.
