The ride begins where wind meets water: hooves drum on hard-packed sand as the Pacific throws spray against coastal cliffs and dunes stretch inland toward the arid foothills. Riders move from a measured walk along Migriño Beach into an easy trot across open flats, the ocean daring you to look away while the desert pulls your gaze inland to scrub, sculpted ridgelines, and distant mountains.
