The experience

The tour runs three hours and splits into two routes: one follows the beach at sunset, the other heads inland toward the hot springs. Either way, you're on horseback through Manialtepec Lagoon, a wetland where birds and other animals live year-round. A live guide in English or Spanish leads the ride and points out what moves through the water and trees as you go. Pickup arrives in an air-conditioned vehicle.

The beach option catches the light at the end of the day. The hot springs route takes you inland through the same lagoon ecosystem, where the water warms naturally. Both paths stay within the Puerto Suelo area near Manialtepec Town. Children from age 4 can ride. The operator notes that the experience suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns.
