Historic Haciendas
Highlands Riding Tours Ecuador

Through a collage of tiny fields of every green imaginable and into the cobbled courtyard of the most important, best preserved Hacienda of the northern Highlands.

Staying at secluded colonial country houses, set amid beautiful gardens in idyllic locations, riding through valleys and along grand avenues into the cobbled courtyards, guests are transported back in time to the arrival of the first Spaniards on horseback in the 1500s and early 1800s, when Simon Bolivar was undertaking epic rides during the independence era – both events that reshaped the South American continent.
Andean Condors soar overhead, wild horses gallop alongside, and there is a chance of spotting the Andean Spectacled Bear, as well as a wealth of bird life.

Nights are spent peacefully in front of log fires, in antique-filled rooms at exclusive Historic Haciendas. Comfortable suites each have their own unique appeal, with the rambling manicured gardens a delight to wander through.
