Today was the most gorgeous day in Chile thus far. The sun was out and the fog burned off the most it has to date. It was so nice to have a clearer view of the ocean and the city. After breakfast at the hotel we drove to the ranch where we were to go horseback riding. At first I wasn’t all that excited, as I have never enjoyed horseback riding in the past when I have done it. However today was completely different. The only way to describe it is amazing. We started out on the beach and it was so nice to ride along the swells with the city behind us. We then rode in dunes. I cannot believe that such a landscape existed only five minutes from the beach. At every single moment along our ride the landscape was gorgeous. All of the horses were well trained which made things easier for us. On the way back along the beach we all galloped which felt very comfortable. It was honestly just an incredible experience. Words cannot even begin to capture our ride.
After our long ride was over we had a barbeque with a vast array of food at the lady’s house who runs the horseback riding company, called Ritoque Expediciones. She was extremely nice and very hospitable. She must run a good business because she has a lot of different packages that she offers. Not only does her company give horseback riding expeditions, but they also have kayaking ones as well. Her horses were all in really good condition too and you could tell that she loves all of her animals a lot.
Upon returning to Viña we all went out to get gelato which was very delicious. After we had all gotten ours we went out and sat on the rocks that are right on the ocean. It was absolutely magnificent. It was such a beautiful day and it was so nice to just sit and watch the waves break. It was so peaceful, relaxing, and pretty. It felt like something I do with my family when I’m at the shore. Today truly felt like a nice, relaxing, summer day at the beach.
