Jungle Horseback Riding
Horseback Riding Belize — Jungle Ride and Swim Adventure
Experience the beauty of Belize on horseback as you ride through tropical forests, pine savannas, and rainforest trails at the foot of the Maya Mountains.
The trail winds through coconut groves, across gentle pine-covered hills, and over small jungle streams before entering lush rainforest dominated by towering cohune palms. Along the way, you’ll pass ancient Maya sites that remain hidden beneath the jungle canopy while keeping an eye out for toucans, parrots, iguanas, howler monkeys, and other wildlife.
If river conditions permit, you’ll stop for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear Sittee River between two small rapids before returning to the stables.
