Question 5

The riding

Accepted Answer

Level: Intermediate to Advanced

The Ride
Brazil's charm lies in its tropical climate and stunning natural landscapes. However, when it comes to beaches, the spotlight shines on the northeastern region. This is precisely where we will lead you — far to the Northeastern State of Alagoas, a haven where you'll gallop across unspoiled, expansive beaches. From the outset, the journey, known as The Coconut Trail Ride, unveils its essence. Alagoas stands as the country's foremost coconut producer - you'll savor freshly extracted coconut water while exploring some of the most breathtaking tropical landscapes you've ever encountered.

The Rider
You should be a competent rider, at ease at all paces, capable of riding confidently over varying terrain. The rides are usually short but fast. On average you will be riding  about 4 hours a day, mostly during the mornings. We'll arrive at our charming accommodation places usually in the early afternoon. Here, a warm welcome awaits, complete with the national drink—a refreshing Caipirinha—to greet you.

The Horses
You will be riding the most authentic Brazilian breed - the notorious Mangalarga Marchador horses. They are great forward going horses with a very comfortable pace. They are used to the tropical climate, the beach and the water and are just the most fun horses you can imagine.
