Sunset Horseback Riding: Connect with Nature in a Unique Way
An Equestrian Experience That Touches the Soul
As the sun begins to set over Playa Esmeralda, the sky is painted in shades of gold, orange, and violet, and the ocean breeze grows softer. In that precise moment, one of the most memorable experiences begins: riding along the coast on horseback, hooves sinking into the damp sand, with the sound of the sea as your soundtrack.
These rides are designed to blend seamlessly with nature, using well-trained horses and routes that avoid sensitive areas such as mangroves, dunes, and nesting zones, making them ideal for families as well.
Guided by local riders who know every corner of the coastline, the journey follows seaside trails through palm trees, coastal vegetation, and low cliffs that offer natural lookout points.
¿Why Is It So Special?
A total connection with nature: Riding here allows you to feel the rhythm of the sea, the wind on your face, and to watch the sunset from a different perspective slow, peaceful, and contemplative.
Ideal for everyone: From first-time riders to experienced equestrians, guides adjust the pace to match each rider’s comfort and experience level.
A romantic setting: Couples often choose this experience to end the day with an intimate touch, enjoying tropical juices as the sun sinks into the horizon.
Unforgettable photo opportunities: The silhouette of a horse against the twilight sky, wet sand reflecting the colors of sunset, an ideal setting for lasting memories.
Recommendations for the Ride
Wear comfortable clothing (lightweight long pants and closed-toe shoes), along with a hat or cap and sunscreen.
Head out early in the evening—between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m. is usually the ideal time.
Ask your guide for a gentle route, especially if you’re traveling with children or first-time riders.
Keep your camera or phone handy, preferably with water and sand resistant protection the light and scenery are truly worth capturing.
