Horseback Riding in Samara

I’ve got friends in town this week, which is always a good excuse to do fun stuff I forget to do on my own.

After snorkeling – sorry, no pictures – and seeing the Scarlet Macaws, we went horseback riding.

We drove about 5 kliks west of Samara to Horse Jungle and Audrey.

Our gracious guide, Georgia, led us across the river and through forest trails.

We trotted on the beach,

before a break and a “copa” at a hostel along the river. No crocodiles today.

At the vista view-point, we looked back at the beach where we had just been.

This once stray cat, which has adopted the horses and their cowgirls, is not afraid of the hooves.

There are several horse tours and guides in Samara.
• Horse Jungle – 8650-1606
• Luis and Rolando on the beach near Tree House Inn – 2656-0353
• Luis in Carrillo – 8337-3642
• Or just stop by Samara Info Center or the Natural Center in Samara. They can arrange a horse tour for you.
