Experience the Ecuadorian Andes and the breathtaking Bomboli Cloud Forest at the same time on horseback. From wide-open fields to small trails in the deepest of forests, this tour takes you on an adventure unlike many others. Our horses are well-trained with the basics of natural horsemanship, which makes the ride safer & the horses themselves even better adventure partners! Before embarking on the horseback journey, you'll time to learn about your horse over a short trek. After you become more comfortable, we'll start the tour that covers about 70 km (44 miles) across mountainous and forest terrain. We highly recommend it to experienced riders. Let’s make amazing new memories!

This was one of the best "Discovery" tours I have been on with Explore. It felt like a real adventure, with the excursions to the volcanoes Cotopaxi and Chimborazo and the boat trips on the Napo river, a tributary of the Amazon. Our tour leader, Fabian, and driver, William, were both excellent. The accommodation was generally very good, with the exception being the Riobamba hotel. I find the comments by a previous reviewer about the current power outages in Ecuador to be absurd. The outages were a mild inconvenience (to us - although I pity the Ecuadorian people) but there were absolutely no security or food safety issues as a result. When I travel in (e.g.) South America I don't expect everything to be just like it is in my cosy Western European home! My one criticism of this trip is that there were far too many shopping stops that were thinly disguised as "cultural visits" - I counted at least ten of these. The number should be at least halved. I mean, what on earth do painted balsa wood parrots have to do with the culture of Ecuador? Or carved nut kernels, for that matter?
