Highlights
  • Adventure Terevaka - Start your activity being picked up at your hotel. Then take a short drive to the ranch (20 minutes), enjoying the nature along the way. Here you will meet your horse and the guide of the activity. Once introduced and given the first instructions, we begin the ascent to Terevaka. At first we cross a eucalyptus forest where small birds live. Then we continue riding through the high mountain meadows, a perfect place to enjoy the view and the changes of tones in the sunlight. Once at the top, the horses graze and we sit down to enjoy an outdoor spectacle: a sunset in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
    On the way back, the first stars appear and in the middle of the forest we reach the end of the route.
    Special route for beginners. Maximum 6 people. The weather can be quite unpredictable, so it’s a good idea to be prepared for some rain.

Additional Information

The top of the island is a place with privileged views, so it has an important flow of tourists at the usual times. We offer to ride to the highest of the island at sunset, a time when you will feel that there is no one but you on the whole island. Silence is part of the natural spectacle. And to get there, we ride in the middle of the forest and meadows, where it is very difficult to bump into other people. A feeling of being in the middle of the wild, revives the soul of the island.

Riding off into the sunset. - The ride was easy. The horses were gentle. The leader was friendly and cared about our safety. He also knew a great deal about the island. It was a fun experience.

Sunset horseback ride wonderful, fantastic, ❤️ - Guides, Alice and Tonche, are amazing! Had the most wonderful time. The ride up was very relaxing and arriving to the highest point on the island provided the most beautiful difficult to describe in words, views. The ocean seems endless and the colors at sunset were awe inspiring. We are so small and the world is so large.

Great Host - Tonchi took myself and a few other solo travelers on this horse ride and it was a really special experience to ride to the top part of the island to watch the sunset. His English is great and he makes sure you're comfortable on the horses starting out and gives pointers on how to ride/control the horses. I ended up losing my phone on the way home, and he went out of his way to find it the next morning and bring it to me at my hotel in town! I was so impressed with the friendliness and genuine concern to help and overall experience.

Phenomenal horseback ride and scenery - This is one of the highlights of our trip, sign up for this! My husband and I are very experienced horse riders, but this trail ride is suitable for any level rider, including those with no horse experience at all. The horses are incredibly safe and sure-footed, the saddles comfortable and guide Tonchi was very welcoming and helpful for folks with no horse experience. Tonchi's English is excellent and he is very responsive to Whatsapp messages. This trail ride takes you through a eucalyptus forest, beautiful fields past herds of cows and horses, and offers sweeping views of the countryside and coast. At the top of Terevaka, we dismounted to take pictures at the highest point of the island at Terevaka then sat and watched the sunset. The ride back to the stables into the sunset and under the stars of night was absolutely stunning. It was such a memorable experience. I bought my tickets through Tripadvisor with no problems. I highly recommend this.
