5.00What a spectacular experience! The nature, the guides, the peacefulness of the ride… As someone with their fair share of horseback riding experience, I can tell you that you will not find a ride like this anywhere else! My family and I went on the long trip, where we got to see the scenery transform from a lush forest canopy to a beautiful tropical river and finally to the beach, where we took a salty dip in the ocean before returning to the lodge. The guides even had fresh fruit and water for us when we reached the beach. Do not miss this! :)
Storybook Ride

5.00Storybook experience! Horsebackriding through the forest past the serene rivers and finally onto and along the beach. I have been riding in many places around the world, but this experience is truly unique! To have mountain, forest, river, and beach in one 2-hr ride (3-4hr round-trip) is something I don’t think is possible anywhere else. The horses are beautiful and so gentle, great for first time riders but also a joy for experienced ones. If you have the chance to embark on this marvelous experience, you absolutely must!

A unique experience that led us to connect with nature

5.00Since we left the hotel we felt the kindness of the hotel staff. They made us some lunch boxes for the road. And we were greeted by a person trained to accompany us with the horses. The horses were in excellent condition, well preserved, healthy and meek. The path travelled was full of nature and the endpoint was the top of the ride. The San Salvador River is beautiful, with crystal clear water in which you can swim for a good time. A unique experience that led us to connect with nature.
Unforgettable experience

5.00It'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!!!
Very good
