The surf threads along the sand like a restless companion as riders climb onto steady ranch horses and step off toward Uvero Alto’s quieter shoreline. Salt wind tugs at hat brims and the horses’ hooves set a steady rhythm, sometimes a stroll, sometimes a brief gallop where the beach opens and the sea dares you to move faster.
