Horseback Riding

Location:
Chugchilán, Ecuador

Horseback Riding

By Caroline Bennett

The area around Chugchilán is fascinatingly diverse in landscape, and great for exploring by horse. The relatively small region is home to the Paramo highlands, vast expanses of Andean farmland, the lowland riverbed of the Río Toachi, and both primary and secondary cloud forests. Within just a few hours, you can experience several dramatically different terrains and climate zones, visit a highland cheese factory and stick your toes into one of several nearby waterfalls.

 

Any of the hostels can arrange horses and a local guide for 4-6 hour expeditions, costing around $10-15 per person. Horses are generally in pretty good shape though seem a little tired; be sure you have a happy trotter before heading for the hills.
