Full description

Unleash your inner cowboy on a guided horseback ride into the Tabernas Desert. Stop along the route to learn about the natural environment, nature, geology, history, and cinema. On arrival at the ranch, be welcomed by the guide who will provide you with your equipment and introduce you to your horse. Once ready you will receive a short training session to get to grips with animal-friendly horse riding. Then, everyone will set off on a tour tailored to the participants' level, supervised by an instructor. Follow the "Desierto de Ley" route for an introduction to the desert. Cross an open area of desert, with views of the mythical "Llano del Búho" and "La Tortuga". Ride through these unique landscapes and admire their geological formations.

See where hundreds of film and TV productions have been filmed, such as Indiana Jones, Game of Thrones, Exodus, The Sisters Brothers, or The Crown among many others. Later, return to the ranch, where you will say goodbye to your horse.

Route for all levels. The tour is carried out at the rhythm of the lowest level since it is a quiet tour through the desert environment and the experience of riding a horse. If there are higher levels in the group and the monitor considers it is convenient and possible, at the end of the tour, the experienced ones will be able to gallop together with the monitor. This standard tour has 2 options depending on the environmental conditions and in case some of the participants have booked also our 4x4 tour.

The guide was awesome and place is incredible. You can be begginer and the guide explane you everything. We were unlucky because there were many mosquitos and the horses were very nervous. We didn’t finish our trip but we were refunded. Totally recommended.
