Writers and poets have long flourished in arts-oriented Cuenca, the country's third-largest city and the capital of the Azuay province. Cafes and galleries are tucked among the narrow cobblestone streets. The main plaza hosts both the old cathedral, started in 1557, the year the city was founded, and the blue-domed Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, dating to 1885. Locally made Panama hats get top billing at the markets, with centrally located Casa de la Mujer a shopping standout.

Rancho Patococha is a hidden place in the Ecuadorian Andes. We have chosen this place specifically because of its lush nature and tranquility, as a space where our guests can recharge from the crazy city life and share unforgettable moments.

Horseback riding in the beautiful hills/mountains surrounding Cuenca is a must for all who visit this beautiful region. Monta Runa horseback tours is the oldest of its kind in Cuenca and the guides have over 12 years of experience. The horses and equipment are all top of the line. Special 2-3 day camping and horseback ridging tours and night tours are also available as well as private tours.
Highly recommend a ride with Carlos and his beautiful horses for both novice or experienced riders. Having ridden through Central and South America, I’ve noticed the horses tend to be on the smaller side. The main team here are Spanish breeds, tall and very strong which was a pleasant surprise and an absolute pleasure to ride. ‘Tango’ had such a smooth trot and great spirit. The scenery is beautiful and our ride took us to a fantastic vantage point of Cuenca and the surrounding Andes. Carlos was an excellent host (and speaks perfect English in case you’re concerned) and takes great care to ensure the whole experience is enjoyable for guests and the horses. You can expect personal transfers, opportunity to groom the horses, pointers for how to ride, tack checks, hoof picking on trail, local history lessons, heaps of information on flora, treats for the horses and a delicious home cooked lunch after the ride. Private rides are available and if you have some experience riding I think they would be a lot of fun! It’s clear Carlos truly loves his horses and what he does (which is not always the case with horse riding tours). Thanks for the great ride and hope to return one day!
