Sunrise in the Rainforest

Take your mount as the sun rises over the forest. We will ride about 30 minutes to a rainforest. First light is an ideal time to observe a kaleidoscope of colorful birds, under a rainforest canopy of vines, palms and exotic bromeliads. You may also catch sight of a whitetail deer, coatimundi or grey fox. Brilliant butterflies and a chorus of birdsong make this the ideal start to the day. Please request for later rides.
