Description
Ever ridden a horse up an active volcano?? This unique adventure combines nature and exploration. Ascend to 2550 meters along ash trails and hardened lava, where breathtaking views of the valleys and three surrounding volcanoes unfold. Suitable for all skill levels, the horses are well-trained and the guides ensure comfort throughout the journey. After reaching the upper slopes, dismount to traverse the lava fields, engaging with the volcanic landscape up close. We roast marshmallows and make S'mores in an oven made of lava rocks. OPTIONAL add-on: We ride down to the nearby village, tie up our horses 'Wild West style' outside of a tienda, and enjoy a well-deserved cold beer with locals. Experienced riders have the opportunity to trot/canter in a nearby open field. This additional option is HIGHLY recommended, a really cool way to see a bit of REAL Guatemala. This tour has a 2 person minimum! If you are a solo traveler we can try to add you to another tour.
