On Saturday July 19th, the Maya Adventure Ride 2008 will take place at the Ingenio (Sugar Mill) Magdalena, La Gomera, Escuintla, Guatemala. It is the most important equestrian event of Guatemala in 2008.
According to Fernando Paiz, President of the Organizing Committee of the event, this race will be a very exciting new variation of endurance, it will be held by night.
The Committee searched specifically for a geographical and climate region in Guatemala that would be similar to the conditions in Malaysia where the World Championship of Endurance will be held in November of this year. The Malaysia event will also be held at night due to severe climate conditions. The riders and horses will face very harsh challenges of severe humidity and heat up to 40 degree Celsius.
