Horseback riding Rio Celeste: Mountain trails to the river

Ride through lush trails to riverside views with fresh fruit and water breaks

Horseback riding in Rio Celeste takes you on a 2-hour trail ride through mountain countryside to the shore of the turquoise river, where you watch for birds and animals in the local vegetation. A live guide leads in English or Spanish. Children from age 3 are welcome. Helmet, fresh fruit and water are provided.

The experience

The ride starts on mountain trails that wind through the countryside toward Rio Celeste itself. You'll move at a pace that lets you take in the vegetation and watch for the birds and animals that live here: the river's color and the forest around it are what make the spot worth the ride. The guide speaks English or Spanish and rides with the group, so you hear about what you're seeing as you go.

Two hours is long enough to reach the river's shore without the day becoming a test of endurance. You get a helmet for safety, and the operator provides fresh fruit and water to drink along the way. Public transportation options are nearby if you need them to get to the trailhead. Children from age 3 can ride, though infants sit on an adult's lap.
