Meet rescued horses in Portugal’s Algarve, hear their stories, and take a small-group nature walk on a lead rope for about 2 hours.
“This was a lovely experience where you can really feel your soul being recharged by being in the company of these wild horses. Walking a horse, with the others following along, through a field of wildflowers in the hills of Portugal... no comparison! Sachin was a lovely host with a true love of nature and the animals. I have always been an animal lover and this was nothing short of a magical experience.”
