Breakfast on horseback: A Diary of South America

By Maxim Stührenberg

An epic adventure awaits What you are about to read is the tale of two guys, who spontaneously decided to quit the 'rat race' for a while and ride on horseback from South Colombia to Quito in Ecuador - even though it would be way out of their 'comfort zone' and neither of them hardy had ridden a horse before.

I invite you to participate in the adventure and we have done our utmost to describe the experience in words.

It is a story about friendship, connecting to nature and to the traditional methods of travelling - slow unmotorised transport, which reveals so much more of the natural world around you; making you aware of so many small details and bombarding your senses with new different sights, smells and sounds.

The riders not only dive into the local culture and talk to villagers, business owners, farmers, learn about cockfighting and colonial history, but also participate in several ayahuasca ceremonies, conducted by experinced shamans in the Amazonian region.

These broad unique experiences will invite your fantasy to feel the journey with us and break your thinking patterns for what wonderful adventures are still possible apart of commercial ways of travelling.

Last but not least, it is a story of true deep-hearted gratitude to the animals that has carried us up and down the cloud covered Andean foothills through all weathers.
