The horse ranch is located 800 km north of Lima in the area of a huge dry forest of Carob Trees, Zapotes and Vischayos. The owners, a nice family, run the ranch as a tourism project and offers riding excursions, riding holidays, farm holidays, etc. If you already know about horses and love riding, this is the place for you.
The project is run by a non-profit conservation organization that protects habitats and species in Paraguay through scientific research and community outreach. Our partner also promotes a responsible approach to conservation, allowing tourists to contribute to social, scientific, and conservation projects that are designed to have a positive impact on Paraguay.
The farm includes a tourism business: there are cosy guest rooms with a pool available for the guests. Riding excursions and various other activities, such as a visit to the famous Iguazu Waterfalls are part of the tourist program. Country life and pure adventure await you here!
