	Activities at Zuleta - Horseback Riding, Mountain biking, Hiking and more...


	While at Zuleta you can enjoy a wonderful array of activities within the private 1.800 hectare property.



	Miles of meandering mountain roads and trails make Zuleta an oasis for horseback riding, mountain biking, and hiking.


	Archaeological tours of the Caranqui Pyramids take you back in time to when the Zuleta valley was populated by ancient civilizations.


	The working farm itself offers a variety of entertaining possibilities with the trout farm, cheese factory, dairy and many other activities. Guests are also invited to visit the Gallo Plaza Foundation’s projects which include the women’s community embroidery project and the condor repopulation project. When you have exhausted all the options on the hacienda itself, you can venture out to the local villages and markets, including the world famous indigenous market in Otavalo.


		Festival of San Juan, a centuries old tradition.


	In June, on a weekend decided by the Zuleteño people, the Festival of San Juan turns the normally bucolic countryside into a grand parade of color and tradition.


	Ecuador Horseback Riding


	Zuleta is renowned for the Zuleteño horse which is a unique mixture of Spanish-Andalusian, English 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.
