Rodeo
* Every year, at the end of November, The YANAHURCO Hacienda undertakes
the largest roundup of the Ecuadorian - Highlands, where the cattle of the Hacienda are rounded up with the assistance of about 100 cowboys during a two-week period.
* About 2000 heads of cattle are driven down to the ranch and, on the last day, herded into large corrals for vaccination, branding, and couting. Tourists can actively participate in this unique event, accompanying the cowboys on their long daily rides, or simply watch from afar the strenuous task of roundin up the cattle and admire the cowboys expert horse-riding skills, their dexterity with ropes and lassos, and their typical attire.
