We were privileged to book with Sally a two day, private ride through Cotoapaxi National Park. The views of the volcano and surrounding landscape were breathtaking, herds of wild horses and wild steers were a few of the surprises we encountered. Sally's professionalism and care regarding the horses was stellar, the horse were well trained and well cared for throughout... More

We contacted Sally about a day of riding and we were given a few options to choose from. She was very accommodating and took great care in getting all the information needed to match us with the right horse. Sally was very thorough in outlining everything we would need to have/bring. She also provided wool ponchos, saddlebags, half chaps and... More

Our family of 5 had a superb experience with Sally and Ride Andes. It was day two of our ten-day trip to Quito, Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands. Sally's driver picked us up at our hotel and drove us about an hour to our starting place. With great care and patience, Sally matched each of us with the best horse... More

I did a day tour with Sally, riding in to the Cotopaxi National Park. The scenery was incredible. Sally was very patient with me prior to the ride and then while on the ride as well. I am not an experienced rider, but both Sally and the horse took good care of me. There are other tour agencies that offer... More

My family planned our stopover in Ecuador without consulting me! I was apprehensive to spend two days horseback riding through the Andean countryside, to say the least! Luckily, Sally, along with our other guides were extremely knowledgable and patient! The horses were incredibly gentle due to the constant care and respect they live with. My children (ages 9-16) had a... More

Sally emailed with me while I was still in the states and could not have done anything to make booking a specially designed ride in Cotapxi National Park easier. Her on-line brochures were informative, pricing fair, and questions on her booking forms thorough. I was able to fill out everything on-line and even make payment via PayPal. Once in Quito,... More

I rode for 2 days with Sally and her team at Ride Andes in Ecuador, and it was the absolute highlight of my trip. The scenery in Ecuador is so stunning, especially around the Antisana volcano where we rode. The horses are very well cared for, not the slightest hint of any mistreatment, and all the team who looked after... More

I took my kids (ages 12, 10, and 10) to Ecuador in June 2012. I wanted them not only to enjoy the riding and scenery, but also wanted them to have exposure to the people and culture of the Andean region of Ecuador. Sally did a fantistic job organzing a trip that would address these goals and also appeal to... More

When my husband and I started to plan our Ecuadorian honeymoon, we saw that Ride Andes was the #1 activity on TripAdvisor and decided we couldn't miss a tour with them. The only problem? Neither of us had been on a horse since we were 8. Oh, and we're both huge klutzes. With no sense of direction. Or Spanish language... More

Just returned from a trip to Ecuador with my 7 year old grandson. We had an opportuniity to go out on a one day ride with Sally. Wow what a great experience!
