The ride starts where the jungle breathes down to the shoreline: a gravel track threads between thick shrubs and coconut palms, the air humid and salt-tinged. Horses wait saddled, ears flicking, and you push off toward Bergantín Beach where surf dares to kiss the hooves. There’s a pause for photos with turquoise water as a backdrop, then a stretch along hard-packed sand that offers steady footing and wide views of the Atlantic.
