It's an incredible experience! This was the first time in my life that I was handed the reins of my horse, since every time I had hired a ride, the horses were tied together, with the guide in front. A beautiful horse chose me and we connected very well. The horses are very well cared for and pampered. The path is spectacular, as it passes through the forest and the San Salvador River. You leave at 8 in the morning and at that time you see a lot of wildlife waking up. We were able to see howler monkeys eating in a tree. It truly exceeded all my expectations, especially due to the warmth of the staff who greeted us and accompanied us throughout the journey. Highly recommended!!!

It’s an amazing experience, sharing with nature, riding across the river, observing micos and other animals in their natural habitation, alqo that I would do again, helps to relax and be part of nature.

We had an amazing experience horse riding at La Mello! Our guides were great and we rode through the jungle, across rivers, and on the beach! We even spotted monkeys in the trees which was such a cool and unique experience!
