The scenery of Caldera make horseback riding a pleasure
The highlands of Caldera, only 20 minutes away from Boquete, make an ideal destination for horseback riding. The rural countryside with its volcanic stone walls, golden fields and green rolling hills is very pleasant to explore riding in the company of a good horse and a couple of mates. There are miles and miles of open plains which are ideal for galloping and the horses naturally love it. The temperature is also a little less cool than in Boquete and it tends to be a bit drier giving you the opportunity to appreciate a different panorama.
In this horseback riding tour you will cross rivers and small streams, encounter beautiful landscapes and admire the Volcan Baru from a real special perspective. At the end of the trip you will arrive to a look out point with panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains and serene valleys blanketed by lush rain forests. From here you will be able to observe the Pacific Ocean, Chiriqui's lowlands and the Baru Volcano, all at the same time. Some say the scenery is the main attraction of the horseback riding tour in Caldera.

You will be enveloped by nature's peace as no soul will be in sight and the only sound aside from your voices will be a gentle breeze rustling the grasses. It's almost magical how the scenery changes from honey colored yellows to bright greens as you head up the mountains. Even when the heavens are dominated by blue skies, over the hilltops in the distance you may have a glimpse of some clouds and spectacular rainbows. You have to see it, to believe it!

Professional horseback riding guide in Boquete: Franklin Rovetto
Your bilingual horse riding guide will be Franklin Rovetto, a Panamanian horse rider who has been surrounded by horses since he remembers. But be aware, if you are a Habla Ya student he will encourage you to keep practicing your Spanish by pretending that he cannot speak a word of English. Franklin's home in Caldera has a horse farm out in the back where the horseback riding tour commences. He has horses for every type of rider. For the first timers you will be given a tame horse with a soft and comfortable ride and for those with more experience he has several prouder and bigger horses. In Panama we ride western style.
Franklin personally takes care of his horses day after day and he knows the character of each of his horses as if it was a son or a daughter of his own. He also carefully double checks the saddling of your horse and knows the terrain that you will explore by heart. You cannot expect to be in better hands for a horseback riding tour.
As you can appreciate this horseback tour is totally different from just renting a horse in downtown Boquete and horseback riding in the paved roads around the town. This adventure will take you back in time and make you feel as if you were the first to explore this wild but yet peaceful land of ever changing valleys, slopes and plains.

Before the tour begins, Franklin will spend a couple of minutes explaining how to keep it safe, how to manipulate the reins to communicate directional control to the horses, how to mount your horse, how to break and in general how to speak to them with your body and answer any question that any of the riders could have. Several of Franklin's dogs will also join the riders. Read the blog of an Habla Ya student for his personal account of this horseback riding tour.
