Horseback Riding
What better way to get around than astride one of our trusty steeds? Just kidding! They aren't really steeds, however our horses are sure-footed and anyone from beginners to experts will enjoy a leisurely ride. We recommend that you try to get in at least one good ride before leaving Belize, because there is really no better way to enjoy the Cayo country-side.
Ride Around the Lodge
Ride horseback around Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge. This is a great way to see whether horseback riding is for you. Check out some of the beautiful plants and enjoy a leisurely horseback ride.
Two Hours
Nature Ride
Horseback ride through the lush jungles of Cayo, through pastures and parries, and up the highest hilltop to a special lookout called Valley View, which has beautiful vistas of all of Cayo and even part of Guatemala. You'll get a chance to take photos and enjoy the breathtaking views before heading back down the hill to the lodge. Take the ride at your leisure with opportunities to trot or gallop.
Half Day
Ride to Xunantunich
Depart Sweet Songs Lodge by horseback onto the hilltops and valleys of the countryside to the Maya village of Succotz. Take your horse on a hand-cranked ferry across the Mopan River and up the hill to Xunantunich or Maiden of the Rock Maya Site. Wave your equestrian guide good-bye or choose to ride back to the lodge by horse. Envision yourself picnicking under shaded trees in a plaza as your guide shares stories of growing up in Belize.
Full Day
Wine & Cheese Ride
Wine and Cheese tasting with a twist! Mount up on one of our trusty horses and head out into nature in search of stunning views and sunset. End your ride at Maya Sunset for a tasting of your favorite wine of your choosing paired with a decadent cheese and meat platter while you enjoy the views of the beautiful sunset over Xunantunich.
