Riding Holidays in Ecuador.

South America is becoming a prime destination for equestrian tourism lovers. Taking advantage of breath-taking natural beauty, many entrepreneurs are investing in first-class accomodation businesses with riding facilities that can easily be put amongst the best in the world.

The beautiful landscape of the Andes

Take Hacienda Zuleta for example. Set in the Ecuatorian Andes, this 300 year-old farm was converted by its owners into a luxurious but still very cosy family hotel offering a range of well organised activities like trail riding, carriage riding, hikking and trekking and birdwatching. All this going along with deep rooted eco-friendly consciousness and perfect grooming of the unique Zuleteño breed.

The Zuleteño

Attention is given to every detail, from the comfort of the accomodation itself to the high quality of the regional cuisine. Here is preview of what expects you there:

"As your dining experience unfolds, you will be impressed by the Hacienda’s sustainability. Virtually everything gracing the table comes fresh from Zuleta’s rich earth and is carefully prepared by hand. Fresh milk and cream from Zuleta’s dairy cows are offered daily. Handmade cheeses are produced from the farm’s fresh milk and carefully crafted in the small factory near the guesthouse. Rainbow trout are caught moments before melting in your mouth. Freshly churned butter melts over warm bread baked from wheat harvested on the Hacienda. Fresh organic fruit and vegetables are picked from the expansive garden to make unforgettable salads and freshly squeezed juices."

Well, what else is left to be said?!... It is definitely a place you should consider for your next riding holidays!
