Saddle Up in Ecuador




Soon, I link up with Sally Vergette to ride in the Andes of Ecuador outside of Quito. I'm told the weather there is like springtime in England all year round.  Sally will collect me at a charming little inn called the Hotel Sierra Madre. For the next four days I will be in her capable hands.  We will ride from Colonial Hacienda to Colonial Hacienda on a tour that promises to take me through a patchwork of pasture lands in the shadows of snow-crowned volcanoes.
Evenings relaxing at graceful historic haciendas enjoying local wines and fine cuisine await the weary rider. I just had to ask Sally a few pointed questions before signing up. Click for my interview with Sally Vergette,, the owner of RidetheAndes, in my column on the National Association of Baby
Boomer Women site.
