Riding into the Andes Mountains


Breakfast on the mountain side.


Looking forward to the day ahead.

Horses tacked up


and away.


riding in a land where fences are few 


colours are vibrant and condors soar 


Nigel Harvey is looking for riders to join a group hoping to ride across the Andes early next year. If you are interested please contact Ride Worldwide

one of these saddles,


and a trustworthy guide.


I decided I'd better wear a hot weather helmet.


By lunchtime I looked like this.


But  the food was good,


the scenery interesting


and the experience unforgettable.
