Which is the difference between ATV and Rhino
Santa Teresa can be amazing for off-road enthusiasts who have many options available to them when it comes to exploring backcountry trails and off-road terrain.
Two of the most popular vehicles here are ATVs «which we call Cuad» and Side-by-sides «Rhino».
ATVs have a single-seat design that fits maximin 2 people, while side-by-sides can accommodate multiple passengers each of them in a seat with seatbelt. I found that Rhinos perfect for families!
Regardless of which vehicle you choose, remember to always wear appropriate safety gear and follow all local laws and regulations when riding.
Despite its condition, it is essential to drive slowly in Santa Teresa to ensure safety.
