Horseback Riding in Punta Del Diablo, Uruguay

Caballos! I went horseback riding for the first time while we were staying in Punta Del Diablo, Uruguay. We booked it through our hostel, El Diablo Tranquilo (eldiablotranquilo.com), for $40 US each. It was a 3.5 hour sunset ride that started at our hostel. We rode down to the beach and entered a national park where we passed through uninterrupted fields and forests of green. We even paused halfway through the ride to dismount and drink a couple bottles of delicious Uruguayan wine provided by the tour. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and low cost of Uruguayan wine. After our break I was a little more daring with my horse, Diablito (Little Devil), and our pace.

We exited the park along a seemingly endless stretch of beach adjacent to the park. This empty, open white sand beach was simply named Playa Grande (Big Beach). We entered the beach as the full moon rose over the ocean, shining red from the tail end of the sunset. It was an absolute fantasy world. Once on the beach we paused for pictures with the beautiful moon before we all broke into a trot down the stretch of the beach. Giddy-up!

  1. Horseback riding camps provide much more than just merely riding through hills and valleys. Instruction about horse care and grooming are also basic requirements for attending a horse camp.

  2. Horse riding is an incredible joyful experience. Learning to ride gives you a sense of mystical pleasure as you are able to communicate and become one with the horse.

  4. Riding by group or with your family are the best thing you can do to share the thrills and fun on riding your horse. For $40 each for 3.5 is very much reasonable to experience. Nice scenery and riding in the shore is the best.
