Horseback Riding Experience in San Lorenzo
At a time that suits you best, we will arrange for your pickup from your hotel and set off toward the province of Méndez, situated to the northwest of Tarija.
As we approach our destination, we will pass through the town of San Lorenzo, which serves as the provincial capital. This quaint village has historical significance as it was once the residence of Don Eustaquio Méndez, a key figure in Bolivia's struggle for independence, whose legacy endures in the region's name.
Upon arrival, we will visit a local hacienda renowned for its expertise in horse breeding and care. Here, the staff will greet us and guide us through an informative tour of the hacienda, where we will view the stables and areas dedicated to equine training.
Next, we will participate in a demonstration of basic riding techniques, helping you understand how to effectively interact with and ride these majestic animals. Once you feel ready, we will embark on our ride. Experience the soothing rhythm of the horses as you soak in the surrounding beauty.
During our journey, a photographer will capture moments of our experience, allowing you to fully engage with the ride without the distraction of taking pictures. You will receive these photos in digital format, perfect for taking home as a memento.
On our return trip, we will enjoy a delightful tasting of masitas and alojas de cebada, traditional pastries from the region, paired with a refreshing fruit beverage. A true culinary treat!
Finally, we will make our way back to Tarija, concluding our adventure approximately 4-5 hours after the initial pickup.
