Reviews
What riders say
when they get back
★★★★★Una experiencia inolvidable. ¡100% recomendable! Hemos contratado la ruta a caballo de dos horas con mi mujer y la verdad es que ha superado todas nuestras expectativas.
★★★★★Experiencia muy agradable y recomendable con niños. Hicimos el paseo de dos horas y la ruta fue espectacular, por bosques, caminos y pueblos. Cruzamos un río también. Los caballos muy buenos y tranquilos.
★★★★★Una experiencia de 10. Hemos hecho 1h de trayecto, mi pareja y yo, con Héctor. Todo el personal de la Escuela nos han atendido super bien, han sido super cercanos y humildes, nos ha encantado el trato de “tú a tú”.
★★★★★Rutas muy chulas! Nosotros hemos realizado una ruta lineal de 1 hora (30 min ida, 30 vuelta) y nos ha encantado.
