? Full Description The journey begins at a central meeting point in Trinidad, where we’ll walk a short distance to meet our horses. After a brief safety orientation and getting kitted out with your gear, we set off toward Parque El Cubano. The route takes us through local communities and into a forest trail where you can witness the vibrant life of the Cuban jungle. Keep your eyes peeled for the Cuban emerald and the trogon as we wind through the lush vegetation.

The destination of our ride is the spectacular Javira waterfall. Here, we’ll take a well-deserved break for about an hour and a half. You can dive into the crystalline natural pool beneath the falls or relax on the rocks and soak in the peaceful atmosphere.
