Our one-day program will allow you to get introduced to the smoothest ride in the world.

We will pick you up from your hotel at 8 a.m. and take you to our Ranch CRIADERO ILALO, located just 30 minutes from the city in the foothills of Ilalo 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 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 Paso horse. We will leave the ranch at approximately 10.30 a.m. to begin the ride to the top of Ilalo Volcano (a 600 meter climb), located at 3,100 m.a.s.l. This takes between 2 to 3 hours. From the top of Ilalo Volcano, on a clear day, you get a spectacular 360-degree view of the entire region. This includes Quito, the Cumbaya and Tumbaco valleys, and all the volcanoes and snow peaks surrounding the region including Cotopaxi Volcano, Illinizas, Antisana, Sincholagua, Pasochoa, Pichincha and Cayambe Volcanoes.

Box lunch will be at the top of Ilalo Volcano.

After lunch we will mount our horses to descend back to the ranch. We return to the ranch at approximately 2 p.m., and here you will have the chance to relax and enjoy the premises. After finishing the riding tour, we will drive you back to your hotel in Quito.
