House / pet sitting at a horse ranch in the Ecuadorian Andes
The experience
We are a small horse farm nestled in the beautiful Ecuadorian Andes, just outside the town of Cayambe, about 1,5 hour north of Quito. Our farm is surrounded by mountain scenery, fresh air and wide open spaces. Life here is simple and closely connected to nature and animals.
Our property is home to 13 horses, 3 friendly dogs and the daily rhythm of country side life. We are looking for a couple or 2 friends to look after the house and dogs.
