Horseback riding tours are one of the most relaxing activities that allows us to be in contact with nature, since it can be carried out in different scenarios such as the beach, the desert, the mountain, the dunes, the mountains or the jungle.

It is a sport suitable for children and adults and for all levels of experience. Even if you have never practiced it, it is time to do it because in all the routes you will find expert guides who will be able to indicate you how to do it and explain you the safety measures that you have to follow when riding an equine.

It is important that before starting the tour you trust the horse and feel comfortable being sat on it since the connection you make from the beginning with the animal will be fundamental for you to enjoy the ride. Horses are very noble animals and if you show them your love, they will reciprocate in the same way. You can reward them with a caress or a show of affection, always following the guide's recommendations. Don't show fear or dread as horses are very sensitive animals that sense your mood, and your fear can cause them stress.

It is important that whenever you go on a ride, you wear long pants and closed shoes, even if the temperature is high, in order to make you more comfortable and avoid getting hurt during the ride. We also recommend that you wear a hat and sunscreen. Always bring a bottle of water with which you can stay hydrated along the way and, if possible, some fresh fruit or an energy bar.
