DESCRIPTION
The Tour begins at our home in Cocles where
we select the appropriate horse according
to the riders ability. There we give information
about horse handling and tour terrain conditions.
After everybody is sufficiently comfortable
with their animal we leave for the beach.
We begin with a gentle walk along the white
sands of Cocles beach to the coral elevated
Cocles Point were we ride over green grass
through a beautiful coconut grove. There
we see the beginning of endless and magnificent
tide pools which lie along the turquoise
sea shore. We pass by the petite and exclusive

of inter tide zone’s bird life to
our left and the edge of a blooming jungle
to our right.

Punta Uva’s first point extends out
300 meters out to sea, its coral; elevation
is about 20 meters high and covered with
old growth almendro trees and at times full
of howler monkeys. It’s tip has a
tunnel going from one side to the other.
It’s a perfect spot to swim and relax
before our return. On our way back, depending
on the particular group riding skills, the
riders can canter or gallop and arrive back
to Cocles to cool off the ecological rush
of nature with a fresh squeezed lemonade
at the house.
