点评:We did the horseback-riding tour with Chimborazo Tours and can highly recommend it. Our driver and guide Renato showed us some amazing places along the way, like "La Chorrera", a steep valley where we could observe a nest of Puna hawk or Gurney's hawk (G. poecilochrous). The horseriding was fantastic. The landscape is beautiful with sights of the Chimborazo and farmland. The horses were initially a bit nervous as they had been waiting for us for a bit but they quickly calmed down and were very easy going. Mauricio, the owner of the horses and our guide, told us many interesting facts about the mountains and nature. We had a nice break at a little river in between sheep, where we also saw two nesting places of the curiquinge (aka carunculated caracara or Phalcoboenus carunculatus). The horseback tour ended at the thermal bath of Chimborazo where we had a very relaxing bath in pools of different temperatures. Next, we stopped for a late lunch at San Juan, where we enjoyed typical Ecuadorian food at a very nice resting place of a friend of Renato. It felt like being invited to the house of friends. Lastly, Renato offered to drive us all the way to Baños (for en extra price of course), which we really appreciated. We had very interesting conversations on the way. All in all, we can highly recommend Chimborazo Tours, and in particular the horse-riding tour. One of us is an experiencef rider, the other one a complete novice, and we both enjoyed it a lot.
翻译:我们参加了 Chimborazo Tours 的骑马之旅,强烈推荐。我们的司机兼导游 Renato 带我们沿途参观了一些令人惊叹的地方,例如“La Chorrera”,这是一个陡峭的山谷,我们可以在那里观察到 Puna 鹰或 Gurney 鹰 (G. poecilochrous) 的巢穴。骑马之旅非常棒。风景优美,可以看到 Chimborazo 和农田的景色。马匹最初有点紧张,因为它们已经等了我们一段时间,但它们很快就平静下来,非常随和。马匹的主人兼我们的导游 Mauricio 向我们讲述了许多有关山脉和自然的有趣事实。我们在绵羊之间的一条小河边休息得很愉快,在那里我们还看到了两个 curiquinge (又名 carunculated caracara 或 Phalcoboenus carunculatus) 的筑巢地点。骑马之旅在 Chimborazo 的温泉浴场结束,我们在不同温度的池子里洗了个澡,非常放松。接下来,我们在圣胡安停下来吃午饭,在雷纳托朋友的一个非常不错的休息场所享用了典型的厄瓜多尔美食。感觉就像被邀请到朋友家一样。最后,雷纳托提出开车送我们到巴尼奥斯(当然要额外付费),我们非常感激。我们在路上进行了非常有趣的交谈。总而言之,我们强烈推荐钦博拉索之旅,尤其是骑马之旅。我们中的一个人是经验丰富的骑手,另一个人是完全的新手,我们都非常喜欢。
