Horseback Riding

There is no better way to understand Hacienda La Danesa than from the saddle.

Our equestrian program is at the heart of life on the farm—an invitation to slow down, reconnect with nature, and experience the land the way it has always been explored. With over 500 hectares of working farmland, forests, rivers, and open trails, each ride becomes its own story.

For beginners, gentle rides through cacao plantations and shaded countryside paths offer a peaceful introduction to horseback riding. The rhythm is slow, the scenery cinematic—towering bamboo, grazing cattle, native birds, and the quiet movement of farm life all around you. For more experienced riders, longer routes lead into river crossings and open fields where the landscape becomes wilder and more dramatic.

Our horses—primarily Pinto Quarter Horses—are calm, responsive, and beautifully trained for riders of all levels. Whether it is your first time on horseback or part of your lifelong routine, every experience is tailored personally by our team.

Children often discover their confidence here. Adults often rediscover a sense of freedom they had forgotten.

Some guests choose a short morning ride before breakfast; others spend half a day exploring deeper trails, ending with cocktails at the bar as the sun sets over the fields.

At La Danesa, horseback riding is not an activity—it is part of the soul of the place.
