Description
Horseback riding near Palermo, in the countryside of Carini, is an easy way to leave city noise behind. An equestrian guide leads you along trails through Mediterranean scrub, where the scents, colours and landscapes are those of Sicily, and the pace is relaxed.
You can choose a daytime ride or a sunset ride, and a duration of about an hour and a half or two hours. The activity suits both beginners and people with experience, so you do not have to be a rider to join in. Along the way you look out over the sea and the vegetation, in a quiet that is hard to find close to the city.
- A qualified equestrian guide
- The horse and the riding gear
- Insurance for the day
For clothing, bring long trousers and closed shoes, plus a T-shirt or sweatshirt depending on the season. The ride is offered in English and Italian and is not suitable for children under 14. It works well for anyone who wants to take a break from routine and spend a couple of hours outdoors.
