The Cañar province it is known as one of the most diverse places in Ecuador for multicolor examples of flora and birds observation and the presence of various ethnic groups since in this special place we can find the indigenous communities of Cañar and mestizos (mix of native and European on the colonial period) living together in characteristic villages.

The Saraguro people see in tourism a valuable way to bring back and preserve their traditions and culture in order to share it with visitors. They are very welcoming and willing to show us part of their daily life, turning this trip into one of the best experiences of rural, agro and community tourism. They are very proud of their indigenous roots so they wear their typical customs and practice ancestral rituals.
AFTER THE INCAS’ FOOTPRINTS SLT13
The Incas had a highly developed road and communication system that connected important points and settlements along the Andean mountains. However, with the construction of modern roads, the Inca trail was not that important anymore, except for local people that still use it and follow many part of this ancient road system for connecting with other remote villages and trading activities.
HORSEBACK RIDING IN ECUADOR
It is one of the best ways to get to know the real Ecuador, the country lifestyle, one of the most special wonders of this little but magical realm.
The mountainous topography of the Ecuadorian Andes, combined with the natural existent wonders such as volcanoes, lakes and forests, plus the ethnical component, creates the right atmosphere for a wonderful horseback riding experience. Our trips intend to show visitors the remote and unique countryside landscapes, by following small trails used by locals. Through small hidden villages, lush farming areas and breathtaking views.
Our trips range from beginners to experienced riders, but in all of them you must like horses, have some degree of fitness, and most important, to have self confidence. Our horses are well trained and are used to carrying passengers with different skills. Some are very calm for those with little experience and some are hot blooded for riders in the quest for the adrenaline rush.
For our trips we use different family hacienda facilities for accommodation. Each one has its own enchantment, its own natural ecosystems and unique traditions. Some are ancient from colonial times, others are located on the skirts of volcanoes, some are surrounded by forest and wonderful natural landscapes and others are modern with beautiful decoration. However the common trait amongst all of them, is the fact that are very comfortable, charming and welcoming for visitors that would enjoy to experience the Ecuadorian countryside lifestyle feeling at home.
