Description
Ride horseback through the glorious countryside of Aruba on a 2-hour tour to the famous Alto Vista Chapel. Look out for iguana, brightly-colored parakeets, and wild donkey. Continue along the coral and lava coastline for a contrasting scenery.
Head to the cunucu (ranch land) of the Arubian countryside to ride horseback where donkeys, iguanas and parakeets live. The 2-hour tour takes you to the rugged side of Aruba, riding trails where no cars are allowed.
Following a hotel or cruise ship pick-up, transfer to the ranch to be introduced to your guide before you mount your horse. Follow a dry riverbed, heading to the northeast coast. Look out for the colorful birdlife, including bright yellow trupial, green prikichi, and more. Sometimes you will also run into wild donkeys and large Iguanas.
Continue along a dirt road following the coastline, where you will hear the waves crashing onto rocky coral and lava shore. Head towards the Alto Vista Chapel to take a short break, and admire the sacred grounds before taking a peek inside.
Back on your horse, you will follow the trail back to the ranch, where you can purchase a cold beverage from the bar before your transfer back to your hotel, or Palm Beach for cruise passengers.
