HORSEBACKRIDING SAN JORGE ECOLODGE QUITO. |
San Jorge Eco-Lodge offers its guests many options to discover the rich Ecuadorian tradition of horseback riding. Spend delightful days riding through San Jorge Botanical Reserve located in the highland farmlands of Pichincha Mountain. Our pre-Incan trails offer visitors an unforgettable experience. As your horse takes you to higher altitudes through the windswept landscapes of the Ecuadorian Paramo, you will marvel at the spectacular views of the Andes Mountains. All of Quito can be seen from above, as can the ice-capped peaks of distant mountains such as Cayambe and Cotopaxi. The rolling hills with a variety of planted fields and animal herds make up a patchwork of colors that invite wonderful photographs and long-lasting memories.
Our guides will accompany both beginners and experienced riders on all trips throughout the reserve. You will encounter over 200 medicinal plants with medicinal properties as well as more than 130 bird species and a wide range of wildlife that inhabit San Jorge Botanical Reserve. It is an education unique to San Jorge Eco-Tours.
