CAPO BIANCO Route
Now it’s time for our horseback ride: we’ll venture into the natural setting around the riding stables, heading towards Eraclea Minoa. We’ll ride 100 meters along the Sicana coast, then enter the pine forest and approach the beach. We’ll reach the entrance to the Foce del Fiume Platani Nature Reserve, where the Capo Bianco cliff is located: it’s very similar to the more famous Scala dei Turchi, which you can see in the distance.
TORRE SALSA Route
We begin our horseback ride: we will venture into the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve, towards Siculiana Marina, we will ride 100 meters along the Sicanian coast and then enter a pine forest characterized by Mediterranean scrub, until we get close to the beach. We will ride until we reach the Dama Bianca cliff: this latter is very similar to the more famous Scala dei Turchi, which you can see in the distance.
After covering approximately 6–7 km, we will return to the meeting point, where an aperitif awaits you (included in the price). You can choose from a selection of drinks—such as Coca-Cola, beer, water, tea, or wine—accompanied by various snacks.
The horseback ride itself lasts an hour and a half, though the duration may vary depending on the rider’s skill level; the entire experience, from arrival at the stables to the final refreshments, lasts two hours.
