A slow trot carries you along a fringe of coconut palms while the Caribbean unfurls turquoise and white at your horse's knees. Salt air and a chorus of coastal birds set the pace; the surf dares you to linger while the jungle presses close behind. After a beach stretch, the trail threads into humid forest and rises briefly to a compact lookout above Punta Uva, where the coastline lays out in clean arcs.
