From Quito: Horseback Ride & Cotopaxi National Park Day Trip

Ride a Criollo horse at the foothills of impressive volcanoes, and learn all about the Chagra culture. Hike through unique pristine ecosystems and discover the Cotopaxi National Park on this private day trip.
The “Chagra” culture is the product of miscegenation between the Andean Indians and Spanish settlers. This mestizo culture was the one that contributed more to the economic and social development of the countryside in the Sierra region, based on cattle breeding, like bulls for bullfighting. And, of course, here you have the opportunity to experience during a day trip, the joy, adrenaline, and nostalgia that our Chagras live day by day while they are working in the high mountains of the Andes! Your tour guide will pick you up at 7:10 a.m. to drive to "El Pedregal", located 60 kilometers southeast of Quito, in between the Rumiñahui, Pasochoa, Sincholagua, and Cotopaxi volcanoes! After an hour and a half of driving, you'll arrive to a traditional hacienda of the region, and getting a "canelazo" as a welcome drink, you have the opportunity to wear typical costumes of the Ecuadorian Chagra, which will be very useful for your great adventure on horseback, that will last two and a half unforgettable hours!!

After this great experience, you said goodbye to your horse, in order to enter the Cotopaxi National Park. Around 2:00 p.m., in the encounter with the Cotopaxi volcano (19,347 ft), you'll be surrounded by ancient dried lava flows, mountains, lakes, wild horses, and ecosystems that surprisingly change while you gain elevation on the course! You will also see the exotic wildlife in the wild, while you participate in the different activities offered on this exciting adventure! You will be back in your hotel in Quito approximately at 5:00 p.m.
