Private horse ride in Alcácer do Sal at Herdade de Montalvo with Entre Amigos Equestre, a 1.5-hour guided experience through the breathtaking landscapes of the Sado Estuary Nature Reserve for small groups of at least two people. Founded and managed by António and Stefanie Salgado, a Portuguese-German couple united by a lifelong passion for horses, Entre Amigos is a recognised member of the Portuguese Equestrian Federation and offers a welcoming, family-oriented and genuinely professional equestrian environment adapted to all levels. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced rider, the route and pace are adapted entirely to your group.

The ride takes you through the peaceful trails, pine forests, open fields and natural surroundings of this protected Alentejo estate, with experienced guides accompanying every step and revealing hidden corners of the landscape that most visitors never find. The Sado Estuary Nature Reserve is one of the most extraordinary natural settings in southern Portugal, and experiencing it from horseback adds a dimension of connection and silence that no other activity provides.
