Some suggested programs
Horseback Riding at Hacienda Amboasi: 1 day
Built in the 17th century this typical Ecuadorian Hacienda provides a unique opportunity to enjoy the view of the highlands of Ecuador. Starting from Quito we drive towards the western Side of the "Cordillera de Los Andes" (Andean Mountain Range). After a 1-hour ride we arrive at Hacienda Amboasi. A cocktail prepared in the most traditional style: a combination of boiled "elmo" (kind of aniseed) leaves with "puntas", the typical "aguardiente" (liquor), of the area, gives us a nice welcome to the house. The house owners, the Cevallos family, prepare the cocktail themselves and arrange our horseback trip for the next 3 hours. Enjoy the views of the highlands together with a wonderful cloud forest on the western side of the mountains. After noon we return to the main house for a delicious Ecuadorian lunch together with a beer and some soft drinks. Relax in the hacienda gardens and late afternoon transport back to Quito.
