Tour Description

Your adventure kicks off with a convenient pick-up service from your accommodation in Santa Marta. We will journey towards the vicinity of the El Zaino Entrance, one of the most popular gateways to the Tayrona National Natural Park. Upon arrival, a local host will warmly greet us and lead us to the Piedras River, where our exciting Caribbean horseback riding experience begins.

At the Piedras River, a notable tributary of the Sierra Nevada famed for its pristine waters, our horses and the necessary riding gear will be prepared. After a brief orientation, we embark on a guided horseback ride, lasting approximately 50 minutes. This journey takes us through rural paths, crosses the river, and immerses us in an area rich with dense vegetation and refreshing air. During the ride, you'll witness the striking transition between the tropical forest and the coastal ecosystem, offering a unique experience. Upon reaching Los Naranjos Beach, you'll find a perfect spot for contemplation and relaxation. This beach, part of the coastal corridor around Tayrona, boasts untouched landscapes and a serene atmosphere. Here, you have an hour to explore the surroundings, stroll along the shore, or savor a drink or snack at the local bar while the soothing sound of the sea envelops us.

Following our beach visit, we will retrace our steps on horseback, navigating through the forest and across the Piedras River once more until we return to our starting point. From there, the transport will conveniently escort us back to Santa Marta.
