A Warm Welcome to the Ranch

As a seasoned traveler and surfer, I’ve had my fair share of adventures, but the Eco Agro Adventure with Horseback Riding in La Mesa was a refreshing change of pace. The moment I arrived at Wilfredo’s ranch, I was greeted with warm smiles and a sense of genuine hospitality that made me feel right at home. Wilfredo, his family, and the ranch hands were incredibly welcoming, ensuring that each guest felt comfortable and ready for the adventure ahead.

The ranch is nestled in the rural area of Panama City, just over an hour’s drive away. The journey there was a bit bumpy, but the anticipation of what awaited made it all worthwhile. Upon arrival, I was paired with a horse that matched my experience level, thanks to the careful consideration of the team. They even had a family friend join us to translate, ensuring I understood the day’s plan. It was a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more enjoyable.

Riding Through Nature’s Splendor

Once we were saddled up, the real adventure began. The trail took us through lush jungle paths, where the sounds of nature enveloped us. As someone who spends a lot of time analyzing wave conditions and beach reviews, it was a delightful change to immerse myself in the tranquility of the jungle. The trail was designed to cater to different skill levels, so everyone felt confident and at ease.

The views were nothing short of spectacular. As we rode through the trails, we were treated to breathtaking vistas of the hills, with Panama City visible in the distance. It was a reminder of the beauty that lies just beyond the bustling city. Along the way, we spotted monkeys, butterflies, and a variety of birds, all thriving in their natural habitat. It was a serene experience that allowed me to connect with nature in a way that surfing sometimes doesn’t.

A Refreshing End to the Day

The ride culminated at a refreshing spring within the ranch, where we could explore small waterfalls and natural pools. It was the perfect way to cool off after a day of riding. The water was crystal clear, and the setting was idyllic, offering a moment of peace and reflection.

After the ride, we were treated to a delicious lunch featuring traditional Panamanian foods and seasonal fruit juices harvested right at the ranch. It was a feast for the senses, and the perfect way to end a day of adventure. As I relaxed in a hammock, taking in the beauty of the surroundings, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the experience.

The Eco Agro Adventure with Horseback Riding is a must-do for anyone looking to escape the city and immerse themselves in nature. It’s a unique blend of adventure and relaxation, and I can’t wait to return. If you’re ever in the area, be sure to check it out for yourself. Eco Agro Adventure
