Here is a testimonial from a happy camper:

Great! The setting was beautiful and placed on the Obidos lagoon. The service was easy and hassle free which made the whole trip run so smoothly. The eco-camp that I stayed at was really different but I enjoyed it so much. The tipi was lovely, the bed was very comfy and I slept like a baby every night! The quality of the riding was excellent and the beach ride was exceptional. I could not believe my eyes when i got there. Our horses were absolutely gorgeous and so incredibly soft natured. In all of my riding experience, I never have come across such fantasticly well natured animals. They were a total delight. My overall experience was great, I thoroughly enjoyed my four day stay and would have liked to stay for much longer!

I plan on recommending this holiday to both my family and friends! 

N.B. Riding is available all year round, but from October through to April you can stay in a fantasic four star hotel in the historical town of Obidos. This is the alternative to staying in the tipis due to unsuitable weather conditions during the colder winter months.

From midday until early evening the parade in carriages or on horseback of the local community provides a colourful spectacle.
