Horseback Riding in Trancoso

In Trancoso, the connection with nature is undeniable! And there’s no better way to experience this connection than on horseback. The horseback ride offers a variety of stunning landscapes for you to explore.

Imagine galloping along golden sands at sunset, with the gentle sound of the waves as your soundtrack? Or perhaps you’d prefer to explore the winding paths that lead to the Buffalo Valley, where you can observe grazing buffaloes, flying herons, and, in the distance, the gleam of the sea! There are many ride options to choose from, each filled with special moments!

The ride lasts about 2 hours, and besides guiding you along the way, the guide will share many stories and insights about the region. And if you’re not an experienced rider, don’t worry! This ride is also for you!

Here are two of the many trail options you can choose to explore on horseback in Trancoso. Get inspired!

Trancoso – Itaquera

One option is to ride from Trancoso Beach to Itaquera Beach. The meeting point with the guide and the horses is at Trancoso Beach. There, you will receive all safety instructions and basic riding commands – how to position your feet and legs, understand the horse’s movements by observing its ears, and even the right way to pet it. Then just hop on your horse and start enjoying the ride!

The ride goes along the beach, enjoying the incredible view the sea provides! At the beginning, you’ll cross the Trancoso River and continue riding, seeing coconut trees and a lot of Atlantic Forest. The next stop is the famous Coqueiros Beach, with white sand, a stunning sea, and an abundance of coconut trees. It’s a piece of paradise!

Passing Coqueiros Beach, you’ll soon arrive at Rio Verde Beach. There you’ll find several kiosks, inns, and houses. It’s a bustling area. You can make a quick stop to drink some coconut water, as from there you’ll face a series of deserted beaches.

You will pass through the beaches of Itapororoca, Casal Cultural, Patimirim, and Ipatimirim until you reach Itaquena Beach. All are deserted, with preserved nature and a stunning sea. It’s a moment of complete connection with nature! And, of course, take advantage of this moment to shoot some videos and take lots of photos, as the landscape demands many captures!

Upon reaching the destination, take a break to hydrate and recharge your energies for the return journey!

Coqueiros Beach – Cliffs

Another option is to visit the cliffs of Trancoso. A ride you will never forget! It starts at Coqueiros Beach, with the exuberance of the Atlantic Forest, coconut trees, and the blue sea. You can ride slowly until you reach the Trancoso River. There, the guide will help you cross safely.

Did you know? Cliffs are real rock walls formed on the coast due to the action of water. They have no vegetation and tend to be extensive. In Brazil, they are mainly located on the beaches of the Northeast, and the cliffs of Trancoso are characterized by colors ranging from beige to pink and ochre.

The ride continues along the long Trancoso Beach. The first part of the beach has some kiosks, so extra care is needed. But after passing the busy area, you can venture and speed up the ride! The journey to the Barra River mouth is a bit long and more deserted. Enjoy this moment of wind in your face and connection with nature!

Upon reaching the Barra River, you will cross it on horseback and there you will already see the cliffs. It’s an impressive view that leaves anyone dazzled! You will have the opportunity to appreciate the entire length of the cliffs until you reach Lagoa Azul Beach. An experience to be remembered both in memory and in videos and photos!

Like the other routes, this one also ends with a quick rest! After drinking water, you’ll be ready to make the return journey!

Stay Tuned!

This ride can be done at any time of the year. The ideal is to choose the itinerary according to the area of Trancoso you want to explore more deeply. Don’t forget to use sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun and bring mineral water to stay hydrated throughout the ride. Above all, enjoy every minute of this connection with nature!
