páramo by horseback







Páramo: A plant community of shrub heath, mosses, fern meadows and grasslands above tree line in the Andes of South America, according to Conservation International. We had the opportunity to explore the area on horseback for three hours. My horse had trouble galloping. Our guide Roberto told me it was because he had some El Paso Fino in him, which made it less of a natural movement for him. It's just as well, because no tuve prisa. I was in no hurry.

The bareback meeting the sky is an award winner. Loved it.
