We absolutely loved the horseback riding experience. Our guide was amazing and it was just us and the guide enjoying the gorgeous scenery. The horses are so friendly and adorable as well. We took the bus from the capitol which was easy and a short walk from the bus stop in the serene countryside. Can't wait to return.
