Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to our Frequently Asked Questions page! Here you will find essential information about our unique horseback riding tours, horse breeds, difficulty levels, and authentic farm stays across Brazil's most breathtaking landscapes. Whether you are planning a multi-day canyon trail, a coastal adventure, or a relaxing stay on a traditional Fazenda, we are here to help you prepare for an unforgettable equestrian experience.

We pioneer authentic equestrian tourism in Brazil. Rather than staged tours, we offer real cultural immersion with local gauchos and peões, small groups (2 to 6 riders), and direct access to native landscapes.

Our trails are designed for riders who are comfortable on horseback and looking for a connection with the horse and terrain. Terrain ranges from easy to challenging, but our horses are well-trained, reliable, and sure-footed.

Depending on the region, you will ride top-quality local breeds famous for their stamina and smooth gaits, including Crioulos, Mangalargas, Quarter Horses, and Pantaneiros.

We specialize in Brazil's best riding destinations: the subtropical Southern Highlands (São Joaquim Canyons), the Pantanal Savannah wetlands, and the coastal beaches near Rio de Janeiro and Búzios.

Farm Stays allow you to relax on family-run fazendas, experience everyday countryside life, ride alongside local cowboys tending cattle, go photo-hunting, or simply enjoy authentic regional cuisine. Non-riders are also welcome.

Yes! You can combine trail rides (e.g., Canyons + Beach) or add travel extensions to iconic spots like Iguazu Falls, Rio de Janeiro, or the Amazon rainforest.

Trail rides require basic riding ability, but our Farm Stays are suitable for non-riding companions who want to enjoy nature, regional culture, and warm Brazilian hospitality.

By booking directly with us, you avoid agency commissions, get the best value for high-quality rides, and ensure your investment directly supports local farmers and communities.

Groups are hosted by local ranch owners and experienced foremen, accompanied by a multilingual tour coordinator who speaks English, German and Spanish.

Simply fill out our contact form or send an email directly to Peter Rohmer. Every request is handled personally to tailor the trip to your wishes.
