Asociación Latinoamericana de Turismo y Cultura Ecuestre
We are pioneers in the dissemination and awareness of Latin American's Equestrian Culture.
Created in 2014, the Latin American Association of Tourism and Equestrian Culture, (for its acronym in Spanish ALATCE); seeks to protect and spread the equestrian culture of Latin America. ALATCE is made up of a group of professionals from different areas, who share the same and unique passion, the Equestrian World.
ALATCE's aim is to generate interest and appreciation for Latin American Equestrian culture, displaying the richness that its traditions and customs hold, and the importance of equestrian culture in the region.
All of this is achieved through the various awareness and conservation projects that ALATCE, public, and private entities organize. These various trips are backed by knowledgeable, and experienced guides local to the region.
