Rancho Patococha is a hidden place in the Ecuadorian Andes. We have chosen this place specifically because of its lush nature and tranquility, as a space where our guests can recharge from the crazy city life and share unforgettable moments. Our specialty is horseback rides, which are done around the ranch and where you can enjoy the picturesque landscapes and forest which surrounds our property.
