ZULETA HORSE BACK RIDING
Zuleta is renowned for
the Zuleteño horse which is a unique
mixture of Spanish-Andalusian, Engl ish
and Quarter horses. The outcome of this
cross-breeding is a robust Andean horse
with a good disposition for riding.
Many of our guests come specifically to
Zuleta for one of our 3 to 7 day riding
programs. Riders will have numerous opportunities
to explore the Andean countryside along
high altitude trails (between 9.000 and
11.000 feet) that wind through ‘páramo’
grasslands and cloud forest, along cobblestone
trails and through local villages.
All excursions are accompanied by a local
guide, although an english speaking guide
is always available. All-day rides include
a fine, 3 course country picnic with wine
and Zuleta cheeses.
