This 3-hour journey along the River Server is the best option for history and nature lovers of all riding experience levels. Riders follow a shaded trail beneath leafy poplars, lulled by the river’s gentle murmur. Midway, they enjoy a picnic on the grass featuring local Alentejo specialties (available at extra cost). From there, participants cross a 15th-century bridge and ascend the medieval road linking Marvão to Portalegre. The return follows a late Roman path winding among colossal rock formations and ancient tombs carved into stone. Led by a competent archaeologist, riders hear captivating stories of the Jews’ 1492 exodus. A road rich in history and beauty — what more could you ask for?

We are a family business working on the border between Spain and Portugal. We have always had horses. Most of the current ones are the descendants of our family's horses, so they too are like family to us. For the long tours, we use the young ones, well behaved and of course very beautiful!
I am your main tour guide and also an archaeologist, so I will explain to you every historical item we see in our routes (there will be plenty!).
Looking forward to meeting you!

- JJamesabout provider29 Feb, 2024My girlfriend and I had an amazing time during our vacation. Sara and her family were incredibly welcoming and skilled, and we were matched perfectly with our horses. As a novice rider, this experience left me eager to return. The ride offered stunning views of the scenery, and wildlife with Sara providing knowledgeable guidance throughout. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by - you won't be let down ❤️

- LLauraabout provider12 Apr, 2023Sara and her family gave us the most unforgettable tour of Portugal. This was our last adventure after traveling through various regions of Portugal (Porto-Douro-Madeira-Alentejo) and the tour was truly enchanting. The horseback ride was challenging, but the well-trained and well-cared-for horses gave us, my husband, and our 11-year-old son the confidence to enjoy the experience. Since returning to the USA, we can't stop talking about it. The entire experience, from start to finish, was breathtaking and a definite must for anyone exploring Alentejo! We can't wait to return!
