On horseback you cross the low, sun-baked countryside outside Torrevieja to reach La Pedrera Lake, trading the city’s bustle for open sky and wide water. Pura Aventura offers a choice of a scenic ride that visits the lake and its surrounding views or a shorter 30-minute outing that climbs to a panoramic viewpoint over the lake and Torrevieja’s rolling countryside; all rides use well-trained horses suited to enjoy the landscape at a steady pace.

The outing is composed and scenic: you meet at the Adventure Park Rufete, mount trained horses and follow a route toward La Pedrera Lake, with the shorter 30-minute option taking you to a single dramatic viewpoint and the longer rides lingering on lakeside panoramas and countryside stretches.
