Chasing Sunsets on Horseback in Manialtepec

There's something magical about Puerto Escondido sunsets, but experiencing them from horseback in Manialtepec is simply extraordinary. Our sunset horseback tour takes you along the beach as the sun paints the sky in golden and pink hues, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The experience begins in the afternoon, when the day's heat starts to subside and the sea breeze refreshes the atmosphere. We mount our horses on the shore of Manialtepec lagoon, a mirror of water that perfectly reflects the changing colors of the sky.

The Magic of Golden Hour

Photographers call it "golden hour," but for us it's simply the perfect moment to ride. As the sun slowly descends toward the horizon, the sky colors gradually transform from blue to gold, then to orange and finally to a deep pink that reflects in the calm waters.

Our horses, accustomed to this daily routine, walk with firm but relaxed steps on the soft sand. The sound of waves and the clip-clop of hooves on sand create a natural symphony that perfectly complements this visual spectacle.

More Than Just a Ride

This isn't just a horseback ride; it's a transformative experience. Many of our guests tell us that this moment becomes the highlight of their Puerto Escondido trip. The combination of connecting with these noble animals and the natural beauty of the sunset creates a sense of peace and wonder that's hard to describe.

During the tour, our local guides share stories about the area, marine life, and local fishing traditions. You'll learn about the ecological importance of Manialtepec and why this place is so special to local communities.
