Full description
A symbol of Apulia? The masseria!
And you can meet it on your way by taking part in our horseback ride: an equestrian guide will accompany you through the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, discovering the ancient masserie in the province of Lecce.
A 1.5-hour ride to discover the area!
What we will do
I will be waiting for you 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Nardò (LE). I, your equestrian guide, will be there to welcome you at the stables!
Once all the participants have gathered, you will meet my beloved horses: I will help you get on the saddle with English riding and provide you with the basics of horseback riding so that you can enjoy this experience without any worries.
Then our adventure in the saddle will begin: we will ride into the Porto Selvaggio Natural Park, along a bridle path with mixed terrain; we will also ride through a forest! Along the way, we will encounter two of the largest masserias in the province of Lecce: Masseria Torrenova and Masseria Brusca.
After riding about 4/5 km, we will finally return to the meeting point. The horse ride will last 1 ½ hours; the total experience will last 2 hours.
