Best family experience in Brazil - We are a Norwegian family with 2 children ages 8 and 11 who has never really had much experience with horseback riding or horses for that matter. But after reading Raoul’s amazing reviews, we decided to try this new experience as a family, and what a great decision that was! We loved every second of it! The horses was just amazing, well trained and patient. Raoul was just wonderful teacher with so much knowledge about the horses and the wildlife surroundings. Horseback riding up the mountains was one of the most breathtaking experiences I had ever had in my life ( I even shed a tear by the beauty of my surroundings!). My children still mentions how much they miss their horses Universe and Chocolate. I cannot recommend Raoul and his beautiful horses enough, plus he speaks good English! This is a memory for life that we as a family will cherish forever❤️ Thank you Raoul for this amazing experience.

Breathtaking experience - Wow! It was a breathtaking experience. What a wonderful man Raul is who has turned his passion into his profession. He is patient, attentive and sweet. Just like his horses. We had a fantastic afternoon including a picnic which was delicious. I recommend everyone to go horseback riding with Raul for an afternoon. Even if you have no horse riding experience at all, just like us. Thank you Raul! If we are in Paraty again we will definitely come back!

Awesome! - It was a really great tour. We had never been on a horse before, but Raoul knew how to handle this well and was super kind to the horses and to us. It was a great afternoon with a nice lunch and fantastic views.

Amazing experience, thoroughly recommend! - I can’t recommend Raul highly enough, we enjoyed every minute of it! The drive up from Paraty with our driver, Alex, gave us some amazing views and the chance to spot some wildlife. When we arrived, Raul was on hand to give us a warm welcome, he introduced us to our lovely horses. As it had been a while since my wife or I had ridden, Raul took the time to give us a few reminders until we both felt comfortable enough to begin our ride. Raul took us through some beautiful scenery, and took the time to describe all sorts of different trees, plants, wildlife around the farm that has been in his family for generations. After, we were treated to a great picnic with really fresh produce, and an amazing view! I’d thoroughly recommend this trip to all, no matter your riding ability! Obrigado, Raul!

Fantastic experience in a stunning location. - My husband and I can’t rate this experience highly enough. Raul was a wonderfully patient tutor. He clearly loves and takes great care of his horses. The provided picnic was excellent and we were provided with bags to take anything uneaten home. The location has been beautifully maintained.

As a first time horse rider Raul was very patient, ensuring I was comfortable and consistently keeping a watchful eye to make sure all was well. The picnic was a lovely touch too.

Horseback riding in Cunha! Very Recommended!! - An excellent horse ride! Certainly one of the things that should be included in the mandatory stops of anyone visiting Cunha or Paraty! Raul, the owner, was extremely helpful, polite and attentive from the first moment, clearly passionate about what he does and his horses. A great experience. And, in addition to the chat, the explanations, and the incredible view, there was also a very good snack with an unforgettable background. Raul, thank you very much, you will be highly recommended and I will definitely be back for other tours.
