One of the most exciting experiences that we offer are horse rides. Suitable for inexperienced and experienced riders. The chance to visit Andean towns and villages using old Inca paths. One of the favorite horse rides takes you towards the Cotopaxi through a pine forest to plains just below the volcano with magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. For special occasions, you might order an exquisite treat with canopy, table, hors-d'oeuvres, champagne or wine and then a pleasant nap somewhere in the magical Andes.

Trekking
The hacienda is surrounded by páramo (highlands) and is ideal for walking. Guided treks can be arranged with professional guides. The hacienda can arrange to take you by four wheel drive to a rather steep ascent in the southern side of Cotopaxi. You will have the chance to see unusual páramo plants and Andean animals. Return via a deep gorge which leads you back to a village where transport will be waiting to take you back to the hacienda. A rose plantation is only a short walk away from the house. Ecuadorian roses are considered the most beautiful in the world.
Mountain Biking
A vehicle can take you up to the Cotopaxi refuge at 4800m. above sea level (15700 ft) where you can start an extraordinary downhill ride ending at the park's entrance, where you will be met and driven back to San Agustín de Callo. Other paths will lead you to surrounding areas such as the volcanic Rock of the Virgin located in one of Cotopaxi's ancient lava flows that can also be approached by horse. Nearby rose plantations can be visited by foot or by bicycle.
