Horseback riding in the foothills of rainforest

Bilingual guides accompany every group on the trail ride through the lush tropical foothills of the El Yun-que Rainforest, along the banks of the Mameyes River, into the very heart of the legendary Puerto Rican countryside. You'll love the gentle, but spirited, Paso Fino horses featured at Hacienda Carabali, sta-bles for some of San Juan's wealthiest families. Some have described the Paso Fino, which is not a large breed of horse, as being somewhat like a Tennessee Walker, in that it provides one of the smoothest rides imaginable.

Beginner, intermediate and advanced riders are welcome. Basic riding instruction is conducted prior to ride.

Long pants are recommended, and closed toe shoes are a must. Wear a bathing suit underneath your clothing if you would like to take a dip in the river. After your refreshing plunge, we suggest that you sun dry, or bring a towel along. Incidentally, there are fresh water shrimp in the river pool where one goes swimming, and it is quite a treat when the little miniature baby shrimp nibble at your feet. Totally harmless, but a most unique sensation.

Riders will be asked to sign a waiver before departing on this excursion.
