Leaving from the ranch in the morning, we ride into the heart of Cappadocia's most beautiful valleys, negotiating scenic paths in the canyons, cantering on long sandy tracks through vineyards and orchards.
We stop to visit the region's troglodytic treasures along the way, stopping for lunch in small village restaurants. Return to the ranch in the evening.
A total of 5 different itineraries are available during the week, but you may choose to join us for only 1, 2, 3 or 4 days. We use a different route each day to include the national park’s most beautiful spots (Love Valley, Red Valley, etc).
Daily transfer from/to your hotel is ensured via our minibus.
On request, we can arrange accommodation in a guesthouse or a boutique hotel near the ranch, or we can pick you up from the hotel in which you are staying.

This long-distance trail takes you on a 6-day tour around Cappadocia, stopping at a different location every evening.
From the peasants' Cappadocia of the south to the most beautiful valleys of the north, a succession of fantastic rock formations, lush canyons, high plateaux, steppe-like landscape, vineyards and orchards, compose a surprisingly varied route.
On the way, the villages reflect the Anatolian way of life while frescoed churches and other troglodytic treasures testify of the rich past of the area.
On most dates, you have a choice of accommodation on the trail: in bivouac by the horses, or in charming guesthouses in the nearest villages. Both formulas use the same route.
