Horseback riding in Podocarpus

La Tasca is a very small tour operator located just off the main square in Vilcabamba. They specialize in horseback riding tours to Podocarpus Park and offer a few different options. The owner of the agency, René León, is also owner of a very large private reserve that borders Podocarpus. Because of this piece of land, La Tasca has access to parts of Podocarpus that other agencies do not (León stopped allowing other tour operators to use his family’s land after they repeatedly left litter behind). There is a waterfall, known as Los Helechos (“the ferns”) on the land, and on the longer day trip you can go to see it. La Tasca takes excellent care of their horses, giving them proper rest for a few days between trips and keeping them healthy.
