A beach and a coconut plantation are the backdrops for horseback rides in Zihuatanejo. Mild-mannered steeds know the route and are suitable even for travelers who are horse-shy. Go earlier in the day to avoid the intense heat and crowds (and be sure to wear sunscreen and a hat). Many rides include stops for drinks and snacks or a market visit; inquire upon booking to confirm what extras are included in your particular excursion.
