Horseback riding through the coffee region with Omar

The first day that I arrive, it is early in the morning and it's still a while before I can move to my dorm, so I spontaneously decide to do a horseback riding tour through the coffee region.
The guide is a middleaged guy, looking like a Latin-American cowboy, named Omar that doesn't speak any Spanish... Again, lol!
He still manages to to calm me down enough to actually stay on the horse. I'm not really into horses, you know? Oh god, what was I thinking?!
Well, I really don't know but it came out to be a fanastic trip because Omar is really a great horse guide. I basically didn't need to do anything, Omar whistled and my horse Enano did whatever he wanted. I'm pretty sure Omar is the Horse Whisperer!
I even ended up going up and down hikes that I wouldn't have hiked without a horse, through valleys, up really narrow and stony mountain paths and into the "jungle" of the valley to a hidden waterfall.

Thank you to Omar for that! :)
