The cable car is brilliant as is the trip to the peak and my guide Diego was a lovely chap. However the size of the ponies is not big enough for European riders. I am experienced horsewoman and not a pony patter and could feel my pony struggling in the altitude and with my weight to the point I frequently stopped and rested her and was grateful when we got off to rest them and to walk. Basically don’t do the horse riding option if you are over 5ft4 or overweight

Our guide, Diego was exceptional! Very knowledgeable and helpful. This was an experience like no other. I would highly recommend this adventure.

This tour more than exceeded my expectations. I had a smile on my face the whole ride up. You take the Teleferico up, take a short walk to the chapel to meet your horses, ride the horses up, about an hour, then it's about a 15 to 20 minute hike up to the peak. The horse ride back down is about another hour, back to the barn. You'll walk the rest of the way back to catch the cable car back down. There is a great cafe that overlooks the city, must stop in there and have a warm beverage and snack before heading back down.
