Overview

Explore Cotopaxi National Park on horseback in an unforgettable journey through nature, culture, and adventure in the heart of the Ecuadorian Andes. This unique tour combines authenticity, safety, and expert guidance all within the park itself, a privilege few tours offer.

You’ll ride with two experienced guides:
• Your private English-speaking guide, who picks you up in Quito and stays with you all day.
• A traditional chagra from Machachi, sharing his knowledge and horsemanship.

Picture yourself riding along highland trails, spotting wild horses, and breathing in the fresh mountain air beneath the towering Cotopaxi Volcano.

You choose the pace and duration: enjoy a 2-hour scenic ride or go deeper with up to 4 hours of horseback adventure. This isn’t just sightseeing it’s a truly immersive Andean experience.
