Description

Descubre la parte más misteriosa de Galicia a lomos de un caballo con una experiencia ecuestre que no va a dejarte indiferente. Una ruta a caballo nocturna por alguno de los lugares más especiales de nuestra provincia que, bajo la luz de la luna tomará un matiz aun más especial. ¿Nuestro objetivo? Recorrer el monte del Cal da Loba por la noche para terminar la experiencia en nuestra finca, donde pasarás una noche inolvidable. Una vez montemos nuestros caballos, el jinete que te acompañará durante el camino te dará unas pautas para que te hagas con el animal de forma que seas tú quien lo controle en todo momento, aunque son mansos y juguetones, es algo que tienes que tener en cuenta.  Realizaremos una ruta al anochecer por los alrededores de Cal da Loba, por el camino por el que antiguamente se comunicaban Viveiro y Ferrol, el Camino Real. Continuaremos la travesía por el bosque de eucaliptos que rodean Ortegal con un olor inconfundible que nos acompañará buena parte del camino. Incluso podremos encontrarnos corzos, jabalíes, zorros e incluso tejones.  El valle del Mera, el Ponte do Viaducto, el río Mera o los Manzanos de Veiga serán el resto de protagonistas que nos acompañarán durante esta especial travesía nocturna a caballo. En total, una hora y media aproximada que será mágica de principio a fin. No supone una dificultad demasiado elevada ya que recorreremos unos 6 kilómetros pero la edad mínima recomendada es de 12 años.  De regreso al centro ecuestre, te esperará un brindis y te instalarás aquí mismo durante una noche, en una cómoda habitación perfecta para vivir una aventura rural en toda regla. El desayuno está incluido para que puedas disfrutar de las primeras horas del día de la mejor manera.
