Program Details

For over 20 years the ranch has offered tourists the possibility to explore the Andes on horseback.
We are situated inside one of the world's only inhabited volcanic craters, in Mitad del Mundo, and enjoy the oddity of being both a mountainous climate as well as cloud forest.

Our main priorities at this time are giving a high level of care and attention to our horses, upgrading different things on the ranch and of course provide the best possible experience to our customers.

Activities & Shift

There are many different tasks around the ranch.
Depending on experience, they include feedings, helping with the training of the horses, helping out with client rides, general maintenance etc.
