We will pick you up from your hotel
either at 8 a.m. for the morning program,
or at 2.30 p.m. for the afternoon
program, and take you to our Ranch
CRIADERO ILALO, located just 10 miles
from the city in the foothills of
Ilaló Volcano. The riding program
begins with a short tour of the premises.
We will show you our breeding studs
and work horses. A demonstration of
our horses will show you the inbred
characteristics of the Peruvian Paso
horse.
After this introduction you will ride
inside our ranch to get comfortable
in the saddle and to understand the
basic principles of riding a Peruvian
Paso. We will then leave the ranch
to begin a ride in the surrounding
area in the foothills of Ilalo Volcano,
reaching one of the lookout points
from where the entire Quito valley,
including active Pichincha volcano,
can be observed. This takes between
1 to 1.5 hours.
We return to the ranch at approximately
12 p.m. for the morning program, or
5.30 for the afternoon program. After
having a snack in the ranch and some
time to relax in the premises, we
drive you back to your hotel in Quito.
