Children's Pony Ride in the Natural Park of Liencres

Context The Natural Park of Liencres Dunes, located in Cantabria, covers 195 hectares of shifting dunes, pine forests, and coastal beaches such as Valdearenas and Canallave. This protected coastal area provides a unique setting for equestrian activities, with trails hugging the Mogro estuary and rugged cliffs. The route gently ascends along accessible paths, where the breeze carries scents of thyme and sea salt.

The Experience For 60 minutes, children ride specially adapted ponies while parents guide them safely along the trail. The journey winds through pine groves and dunes, offering unobstructed views of the Cantabrian coast and the rhythmic crash of waves on nearby shores. The soft texture of the pony’s coat and the sound of the ocean accompany every step.

For Whom This activity is ideal for families with children aged 6 and older seeking a calm, secure outdoor experience in nature. No prior riding experience is required, and it’s perfect for those who prefer gentle, controlled rides. Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility unless prior adaptations have been confirmed.

Local Context Residents in the region uphold a deep tradition of environmental respect, practicing conservation methods that safeguard the park’s rich biodiversity. Pine forests and dunes host migratory birds visible during the ride, blending local culture with natural immersion.
