What to expect

Upon meeting, we would walk to starting point of the trip (approx. 10-minute walk). We would climb with the horses on a path through Tungurahua mountain up to a viewpoint called "Cafe del Cielo" ("Coffee in the sky" in Spanish). From there you can see a spectacular view of the town of Baños and the mountains in the area. On the way back we will visit an extreme swing called "Vuelo del Condor" ("Flight of the Condor" in Spanish). We will have a 30-minute break in this place so people can swing and rest a little from the horse riding. We will also visit the famous “Casa del Arbol” ("Tree House" in Spanish) where you can find another famous extreme swing. Here we will have approximately 15 minutes. We will come in close contact with volcano Tungurahua. On the way back we would take a slightly different path and pass through the Bellavista viewpoint. * Guide only speak basic English
