A
strange land was born from fire in the heart of the
immense Anatolian steppes sown by the lava of two
volcanoes Erciyes and Hasan dagi. The combined erosion
of water and wind completed the shape of this unique
landscape into one of the most spectacular sights that
Nature can conce, forming monumental peaks, cones, and
fairy chimneys. Amongst powders rocks centuries ago man
chose to settle adding his personal touch by digging
rock-cut dwellings, rock-cut churches, troglodyte
monasteries and underground cities.
The name of Cappadocia comes from the Persian
"Katpatuka" which means “country of beautiful horses
"... |

Today,
riding is an original way to discover the secret valleys
of Cappadocia in a wider space. More than a simple
sporting activity, riding in Cappadocia represents the
opportunity to discover moonscapes with an unimaginably
rich history going where no man has been before.
Whatever your level is, we guarantee you a pleasant
journey where you will see the landscape from your mount
and improve your horsemanship, while discovering that
there is an ancestral friendship between men and horses
as old as history...
