Palomino is a genetic color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail; the degree of whiteness can vary from bright white to yellow. The palomino color derived from the breeding of Spanish horses in the United States. Genetically, the palomino color is created by a single allele of a dilution gene called the cream gene working on a "red" (chestnut) base coat. Palomino is created by a genetic mechanism of incomplete dominance, hence it is not considered true-breeding. However, most color breed registries that record palomino horses were founded before equine coat color genetics were understood as well as they are today, therefore the standard definition of a palomino is based on the visible coat color, not heritability nor the underlying presence of the dilution gene.

Located on the Caribbean coast, Palomino is a small town that has recently gained popularity among backpackers and adventure seekers. Its beautiful beaches, lush jungle, and laid-back vibe make it a perfect destination for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

One of the main attractions in Palomino is the tubing experience on the Palomino River. You can rent a tube and float down the river while admiring the stunning scenery around you. The river is surrounded by dense vegetation, and you might even spot some wildlife, such as monkeys and birds.
