About this tour

À cheval sous le Tungurahua, une aventure andine absolument inoubliable

Quelle aventure incroyable à Nahuazo ! La balade à cheval sous le Tungurahua était vraiment magnifique, avec des paysages andins impressionnants et une ambiance super dépaysante. Les chevaux étaient tranquilles et bien soignés, ce qui m’a permis de profiter pleinement de la promenade, même sans être un cavalier expert. Notre guide était sympa, attentif et nous a raconté plein de choses sur la région. Le rythme était agréable, avec plusieurs moments pour admirer les volcans et prendre de belles photos. Une expérience authentique, bien organisée et pleine d’émotions. Je recommande ce tour à tous ceux qui aiment la nature et l’aventure !
