Overview

Ride a horse through the Tarqui Valley as you learn about its plants and wildlife; and then visit an organic farm for an Ecuadorian cooking class. Pick your own ingredients, learn to make an authentic local dish or two, and savor your creations for lunch.

Amazing Experience Angell was the BEST

Robert_C, May 2025

The hike is difficult but such an amazing learning experience. . Learned so much about the people and culture of Ecuador. The horseback riding was amazing- can not beat the views
