In the Andean highland, some 10 miles north of the Capital City of Quito, the 4000-year dormant volcano of Pululahua is situated. Its geographical position, mild climate, the beauty of the surrounding countryside and wide biological diversity make this a real insider trip for tourists and natural scientists alike.
Primarily, you have the opportunity to discover this exciting landscape on horseback, right into the furthest corners of the crater, passing by deep gorges, rushing mountain streams yielding warm volcanic springs, eroded lahar fields blooming with wild orchids, deserted chalk mines and tropical mountain forests.
In addition, Pululahua is the starting point for many interesting rides in the surrounding area, which take you up above the tree line onto the Paramo, into lush rain forests of nature reserves or to the world famous Indigenous handicraft market at Otavalo.
Robust little mountain horses are perfectly suited to this terrain which, as you would expect from the middle of the Andes, gets very steep and overgrown in places. Some are sparky, some are more laid back, but all of our horses are amiable and easy going, all are sure-footed and have plenty of stamina.
The tours are lead by an experienced guide who speaks four languages.
