Full description
For nature lovers, here is anexclusive experience to enjoy with friends or family: a horseback ride in the Massarosa hills, in the province of Lucca.
In the saddle of one of the most fascinating and intelligent animals, you will ride through lush and varied nature and admire enchanting panoramas, such as the one that opens onto Lake Massaciuccoli, a marshy area in the heart of Tuscany.
To crown it all there will be a picnic with a view... you don't want to miss it, do you?
What we will do
The appointment is in Massarosa, in the province of Lucca.
Before starting the excursion, the guide will hold a 10-minute briefing to explain how to give the horse commands, stop it and pull it over. Your sweet companion in this experience will be a former 'retired' racehorse, who has found his second home at the farm.
Once this first part is over, you will set off along the paths that lead into the woods on the Massarosa hills, through dense and varied vegetation. You will cover about 20 km along the scenic route between Massarosa and Camaiore, with views of the Garfagnana mountains, Lake Massaciuccoli and its marshland.
On clear days you might even catch a glimpse of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the islands of the coast. In short, there will be no shortage of views to immortalise in photos and videos!
Halfway through, you will take a break in a picnic area equipped for a tasting of typical local products such as salami, cheese, wine and oil, and relax before resuming the excursion.
The activity will last a total of 6 hours.
