Horseback riding to the “Victoria” waterfall:

You leave the hacienda stables on a trail through tropical dry woods. A part of the trail leads through reforested area. The hotel has about 1.25 square miles reserved as reforestation area in which are grown species threatened by extinction. In these surroundings you can see a great variety of birds, mammals, reptiles etc. At the property of the hacienda we seek trails of interest of flora and fauna and sightseeing spots instead of paved roads. On our calm and friendly horses we take you on a 45 minute trip.

At the end of the trail we leave the horses for a short walk ending at a steep descent to get to Río Colorado, where we’ll find the 115 feet/35m high Victoria waterfall. The canyon, in which the river and the waterfall are located, has very special and different vegetation. It is astonishingly beautiful, and you can also enjoy a refreshing dive into the crystal clear water. After a longer break we return to our horses to take the road back to the Hacienda.
