60 miles of trails, mostly old logging paths, wind through both the Mountain
Pine Ridge Reserve and the Slate Creek Preserve, allowing access to remote,
tropical waterfalls and spectacularly formed limestone caves, some of which
still contain undisturbed relics of the Maya Civilisation. Gentle, well-behaved
horses ensure that even the novice rider can relax and enjoy the exhilarating
experience of riding through a pristine environment.
CABANAS
The thatched-roof Spanish-style cabanas are spacious, cool and comfortable,
with private baths and hot and cold water. With Maya decor, romantic
kerosene lighting and hammocks the atmosphere is peaceful
and relaxing. Each cabana has a deck with table and chairs. Mosquito nets,
though rarely needed, are provided, so you can leave your windows open and
enjoy the cool evening breezes.
The Cantina is the focal point, acting as bar, restaurant and leisure area.
With its tall thatched roof and its open air design, the Cantina evokes a
simple yet comfortable feeling. From every vantage point, magnificent panoramic
views of the Slate Creek Preserve and Mountain Pine Ridge Reserve can be seen.
The restaurant serves delicious home-style cooking.
