per personLocated in the charming municipality of Jardim, 50 km from Bonito/MS, the Rio da Prata attraction offers a variety of ecotourism experiences, including a horseback riding tour that should not be overlooked.
Before mounting, each participant receives practical instructions on handling the reins, maintaining balance in the saddle, and communicating with the horse. The farm provides all the necessary equipment, including saddles adjusted for first-time riders.
Once the group sets off, the experience is defined by the horse's walking pace, not speed. The 6.3 km trail through cerrado and pasture areas is covered at 4 km/h, a pace similar to a leisurely walk. You feel the gentle movement of the saddle, the horse's hooves on the dirt, and the wind through the tall grass replacing any sound of engines.
The starting point is at the Rio da Prata property, in the municipality of Jardim, 50 km from Bonito. The attraction offers multiple ecotourism experiences, and horseback riding is one of the activities that best connects visitors with everyday farm life.
The journey from downtown Bonito takes approximately 30 minutes. The complete horseback riding route covers 6,300 meters in 1 hour and 30 minutes, combining preserved native cerrado areas with pastureland.
The attraction's main facilities include a welcoming reception area, bar, restaurant, restrooms, showers, and changing rooms. Before the horseback ride, lockers allow you to safely store your belongings.
There is also a souvenir shop and Wi-Fi. These facilities are especially convenient for those who want to have lunch on-site after the activity or freshen up after returning from the trail. Free parking and an accessible restroom for people with disabilities are also available.

One and a half hours divided into stages that prioritize contemplation and contact with rural life. With the group ready and the horses already familiar with their daily route, the departure takes place in an organized and unhurried manner. The pace is set by the slowest participant, and the guide adjusts the horses' pace so that no one is left behind.
Upon arriving at the reception area, participants receive instructions from the monitor. Everyone learns how to use the reins, maintain balance in the saddle, and give basic commands to the horse. The farm provides the necessary equipment, including saddle, stirrups, and helmet when required, and the training is included in the price.
Those who have never ridden a horse do not need to worry: the horses are accustomed to the daily route and respond to simple commands.
The group follows trails through native cerrado and open pasture areas. The pace is that of a walk, with no trotting or galloping. The horse's steady pace makes the route comfortable even for first-time riders.
The cerrado vegetation changes as the trail progresses, with twisted trees giving way to wide-open landscapes.
There is a section where the horseback ride passes alongside the farm's cattle. Visitors get a closer look at local cattle farming and observe how the herd moves through the fields.
The guide leads the group among the animals, while the horses follow the herd's pace without requiring intervention. This is what sets the experience apart from a conventional trail and allows visitors to become part of everyday farm life.
The group returns at a relaxed pace, still taking in the cerrado landscape that accompanied the entire trail. The monitor takes care of the horses, and the group is free to use the reception facilities.
Showers and changing rooms are available for those who want to freshen up after 1h30 in the saddle. Belongings stored in the lockers can be collected at your convenience. Those who prefer to stay a little longer can have lunch at the on-site restaurant or simply relax at the bar before continuing their journey.

The Rio da Prata horseback riding tour was designed for those who want to experience the countryside without previous horseback riding experience. The preliminary training helps overcome any insecurity.
The walking pace allows the entire group to follow comfortably without significant physical effort, and the easy difficulty level reflects this: no special fitness level is required. The route offers panoramic views of the cerrado that make every minute worthwhile.
Those who prioritize contemplation and immersion in rural life will feel at home. For those looking for adrenaline or speed, this is not the right activity. We recommend the horseback ride for families and beginners who prefer a relaxed pace over excitement. If you are expecting trotting or galloping, it is worth adjusting your expectations before booking.
