Saddle Up with a Sayulita Horseback Riding Adventure at Avela Boutique Hotel

Sayulita horseback riding is an ideal way to enjoy sunsets, sand, and sights without taking a step. A hit with Avela Boutique Hotel guests, this popular activity leads you on a tour of the stunning local scenery led by authentic Mexican cowboys. It wraps up just as the sun starts to sink into the beautiful local waters, making for a stunning photo op.
