What to Bring for multiple day rides:
Your own travel insurance.
Usually we have sunny days up to 27 C and cloudy afternoons that can get as cold as 5 C. You will need light clothes for the morning and a pullover or a jacket for the afternoon. Please bring warm clothes for overnight stay.
It is always best to have as much of your body covered to protect you from insects, sun, brush and thorns, therefore bring long-sleeved shirts. A hat, sun lotions, insect repellent, sun glasses are also required.
Rain gear is a must, specially if you are coming during winter (November through June) or during the days of early moon phase.
Dont forget your swimming suit so you can join us at the hot Jacuzzi.
We will provide you with rubber boots for some short rides, but we recommend that you bring your equipment (boots or chaps, gloves, helmet) for longer rides.
For multiple day rides bring warm clothes for bed time, a towel, bathing suit, a small flashlight, a thermos or a water bottle, and any special medication you might need.

3 Day Basic Package
The first two days as above.
Day 3.- On the third day we will ride to the north, and sorround the crater through the top of the crater walls. This area of the crater has stunning views and lush cloud forest vegetation. The trails are a little more difficult and require some riding skills. The lunch break will be very welcome by us and the horses and will give us a chance to take in the scenery and vegetation. This is also a fun ride and will require climbing, descending and some fast pace cantering along the crater ridges. We will ride through some amazing high altitude clud forest at 3000m where the moss will nearly cover al the tress and the orquids will be poised on every branch. October through December is a great time to do this ride since the macaranthum orquids will be blooming. Sometimes the fog will cover all the vegetation so an early start is necesarry to get the most of the day
