Ocho Rios - Braco Estate Horseback Riding
Enjoy a comfortable ride along the coast, passing by the quaint town of St. Ann's Bay, which was the original Spanish capital of the Island Seville. The drive continues pass Chukka Cove, Priory, into a little town called Runaway Bay which is home to Green Grotto Caves and then onto Discovery where Christopher Columbus landed in the fifteenth century.
After passing by Columbus Park you will arrive at Braco Stables.
Braco "Great" House was built in the mid 1700's. It was a successful sugar plantation with numerous slaves and produced sugar that was refined on the estate and shipped to other parts of the world.
The original building still stands on the estate and currently houses a pimento leaf oil factory. Oil is extracted from the leaves and through a condensation process. This oil is exported and used in the preservation of meat and also as a base for many perfumes.
Weave through the countryside of sugarcane and snoozing cows, prance bareback into the turquoise surf, make a splash, and giggle on your first seahorse ride.
Meander back in time, to the sweet life on Braco Estate and its gardens brimming with pimento trees, bougainvillea and fishtail palms.
