Casa Colonial Munoz

If you want to meet a real-life horse whisperer, Trinidad is the place for it. Casa Colonial Munoz is where you will find Julio Munoz, the owner of the colonial house built in the 1800s and the founder of the Diana Project. Julio also happens to be a professional photographer who offers photography lectures and workshops. It is absolutely recommended that you stay at least a night or two here. Enjoy at the roof terrace or courtyard garden along with a delicious breakfast cooked by the English speaking Rosa Orbea. Julio Munoz is the real star though, keeping the horses in a stable attached to his house, allowing them to wander in and out, and speaking in quiet tones to them, establishing a connection not many other humans have with these animals. Julio is also the one to speak with if you want to arrange a horseback tour of the beautiful countryside. Julio’s Diana Project is aimed at making the world a better place for horses and the organisation devotes its time educating horse owners and rescuing horses suffering in bad condition. When you book a horse tour through Julio, you will be directly supporting this organisation.
