Description
At the start of the day we pick you up in Palomino, either at your accomodation or if you come from somewhere else we will send you a meeting point. With our trusted motortaxis we get you to our farm. You get an explanation of our project and we will explain you how we ride. We get on the horses and make a beautiful trip to nature. We will pass our neighbours land, go on the old trails used by indigenous people (and most probable see some on the way). We enjoy a swim in the gorgeous river. Around midday we have a lunch at a local farm, and see how they live. We will head back to the farm and finish the day! We work with rescue horses, choosing us means giving these animals the best life ever! We cannot accept people over 90KG, there is a maximum weight the horses can carry (20% of their body weight), and we work with local mountain horses which are not the biggest breed. But they are strong and the most useful in the terrain we are located.

Itinerary
Come and join us on our jungle tour. We will start at our Ranch and after an instruction we will hit the road. We will ride over the hills of a cow farm, which brings us to the jungle trails. At a gorgeous river beach we will take a break and go for a swim. We always see if the horses as well want to take a swim! After the swim we ride towards a farm and have a local lunch.

High point of the entire trip.
This was the most enjoyable horseback riding I've done, and every aspect of the experience was great. The horses were very well-cared for, the guide was patient and skilled, the lunch was delicious, and the surroundings were beautiful. Part of me regrets not booking a second time before I had to leave Palomino. We'll be back to do it again next year!

Fantastische rit gemaakt door de jungle van Palomino!
I was recommended this tour by a friend from Minca. They truly take very good care of their horses, which was very important to me. I had an amazing ride! Even getting there by mototaxi is already an adventure. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful. Angela made me feel completely at ease, which made this such a wonderful memory of beautiful Palomino! 🐎✨ Muchas gracias por todo!
