Did you know that your kiddo can join you on a Horseback Riding Tour as early as at one, two, or three years old? And they actually really love it (in most cases). Kids will only be able to ride horses unassisted (with or without guide tour rope lead) at six or seven years old since they have grown physically strong enough to balance alone. Every child is unique, so some may be able to ride a bit sooner or later.

Either way, if you were ever curious about trying horseback riding or wanted to practice while in Santa Teresa, there are great opportunities to do it and enjoy a beautiful sunset from a whole new perspective :) Besides that, there are numerous benefits (mental and physical) to horseback riding besides gorgeous views!

There are couple of different horseback riding locations near Santa Teresa, so far I have worked with one that is located in MalPais: HORSE RIDING Ollie’s Adventures, and another two located in Playa Hermosa/Manzanillo: Horizonte Horse Experience, and Ario Tours in Manzanillo. We enjoyed both locations, instructors and adventures, so we are happy to recommend both do not wait any longer and create lifelong memories by trying horseback riding while in Santa Teresa! Both locations offer rides through gorgeous beaches and natural trails featuring amazing ocean and beach landscapes, and beautiful sunset views.
