Detailed itinerary

The riding trail goes through the ancient ruins to the Interpretation Center Museum for a breath taking view of a carved image of a Lion and head of a Tribal Chief. From there it meanders through forest of coconut palms to the Atlantic Ocean, where you can enjoy a thousand feet of sandy beach and see the nesting ground for the Leather back Turtle. The trail continues through the rain forest and features bird watching, crabs, iguanas, and other wildlife. You can also collect some of natures medicine from the wild. Along the way is banana plantations which goes on for miles then into the ruins of the old sugar mill and continues through the Savannah, meadows and mangroves. Don't worry about being dehydrated as throughout the tour we will be serving you with water or freshly picked coconut water right from the nut. Back at the stable the tour won't end without our complimentary refreshments. You will then proceed to the beautiful Dennery falls just 15 minutes away off site.
