06 · Horseback rides in the countryside
At a horse’s pace
Horse rides were on the house’s activities board. Another way to reach farms and lookouts: slower, and higher up.
Bidea can help arrange it Ask about horse rides
In the coffee region, horse rides usually follow country lanes between farms, bamboo groves and pastures, with a guide who knows the horses and the ground. A calm way to see the landscape from a different height.
Bidea used to list them on its activities board. If you’re interested, ask: the house will tell you who it works with today and what the options are.
What to expect
- Country lanes, sometimes muddy.
- Stops at lookouts or farms.
What to bring
- Long trousers and closed shoes.
- A rain jacket.
- Sunscreen.
Good to know
- Ask about the horses’ condition and whether helmets are provided.
- Tell the guide how much riding experience you have.
Interested?
Write to the house: the message is ready with this experience. To combine several, add them to your route and send them together.
Hi Bidea! I’d like to know more about a horse ride in the countryside: options, times and prices. Thank you!
