| Title: | Mountain Equestrian Trails - http://www.metbelize.com |
| Description: | Mountain Equestrian Trails is a small lodge built within a moist tropical broadleaf forest at the base of the immense and largely pristine Mountain Pine Ridge escarpment. It offers an appealing combination of thatched roof cottages at the main lodge set carefully under the rainforest canopy along the side of a mountain. The Cabanas are made of stucco and hardwoods, with a native-style thatched roof. Each room offers Maya woven tapestries, private baths with hot water, and a deck with table and chairs for every room. There is no electricity in the rooms; kerosene lamps provide lighting and exotic ambiance. Mosquito nets, though rarely needed, are provided, so you can leave your windows open and enjoy the cool evening breezes. The Cantina is the center of action, being a general meeting area, bar, and restaurant. We serve delicious home-style cooking with local entrees, fish, barbeque, pizza, tacos, rice and beans, homemade tortillas, breads, cakes and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, many which are grown right in the area. Horseback Riding will take you to secluded and interesting destinations. You can ride to one of several waterfalls to enjoy a picnic lunch and swimming. Or you can explore various dry caves or even canoe deep inside an underground river cave. A pre-ride orientation will give the rider important information concerning our particular trails and horses. We take care to match the rider (by obtaining height, weight, and riding ability) with the most suitable horse and tack. Rain gear, water bottles, camera bags, and gourmet picnic lunches are provided. During planning, we select interesting routes, passing through varied ecosystems while your guide describes traditional uses of plants. Included are visits to Maya ruins, and the exhilarating experience of riding through a pristine environment. It is important that riders wear riding boots, hiking boots, or tennis shoes (with socks), and long (preferably single-seamed) trousers or jodhpurs. All half day and full day rides include breaks for swimming, caving, and picnic lunches. |
