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.

Riding with La Tasca Tours is without a doubt unmissable! Galloping through the spectacular Andes on strong, forward going horses was such a joy. Our guide was great fun and really knew just where to take our small group for the most exhillarating ride that any of us had ever experienced. As with all riding in Ecuador, don't expect to be provided with a helmet. Unlike most other riding places in Ecuador, the horses are a good size for adults to ride and appear to actually enjoy their occupation. I loved evry single second!
