Following your choice of riding adventure, mild to adventuresome, you'll return to Hacienda Alegria with plenty to tell.

Enjoy the amenities of the hacienda, the attention to detail and perhaps spend some additional time enjoying the hiking, mountain biking and trips into the Ecuadorian cloud forest.

"La Alegria also runs a programme of fun, educational summer camps for schoolchildren from the locality and the coast. The camp offers children the opportunity to have an unforgettable, healthy, character building holiday in the mountains. Activities include hiking, mountain biking, horseriding lessons, horse care, camping and excursions to the surrounding mountains and cloud forest and local sites of interest. There is an educational focus to the camps, with a strong emphasis on ecology and conservation. For more information about Alegria Camp please contact Paty on info@alegriafarm.com."
