Horse Riding Holidays in BRAZIL

Unicorn Trails offers you a range of very special horse riding holiday destinations in Brazil. Most famous is the well known nature lovers paradise of the Pantanal, but we know every corner of Brazil is worth riding in.

Brazil is South America's biggest and most influential country. It is so large that it takes up almost half the continent and is bordered by every South American country except Chile and Ecuador. The Andes may be the backbone of South America, but despite the size of Brazil the Andes do not run through it. In fact the country is rather flat.

About two thirds of Brazil's population live near the coast and it's to the coast, in particluar Rio de Janeiro, that most tourists flock. Few venture far from these spectacular beaches in the south. However, the north and the interior have so much to offer. 

The Pantanal
Between the rivers of the south and the Amazon is a large plateau called the Mato Grasso which is the gateway to the Pantanal. This area is a wilderness area of wetlands approximately half the size of France and it's here that Unicorn offers a unique equestrian holiday.

The Pantanal is home to the highest concentration of wildlife in all the Americas. It has one of the world's biggest ecological sanctuaries and largest wetland area, covering some 240,000 square kilometers. The vegetation of the Pantanal is a mixture of the three most important ecosystems of South America. The landscapes consist of swamps, seasonally flooded grass and woodlands, and various types of forest (evergreen, semi deciduous etc.). It is also home to a working cattle ranches (fazendas) and a rich cultural cowboy tradition. This Brazilian horse riding holiday offers wildlife seen nowhere else, an adventure and the chance to observe the harmonious relationships between the horse and the environment and local people. 
 
Our equestrian holiday treks from one Fazenda to another. Then we ride across the both low pantanal and high pantanal which maximises the range of wildlife encountered. 

It goes without saying that Unicorn is delighted to offer these spectacular horse riding holidays in Brazil.
