The staff at Rancho La Merced are the best I have experienced with determining experience and skill level as they assign each guest a horse. My daughter-in-law, 8 year old granddaughter and I enjoyed a leisurely ride (along with two other guests and our guide) to the waterfalls. The swim in the waterfalls area was so refreshing and the scenery... More

We have booked this horse riding tour through Cabinas Los Laureles. We could choose between two tours, one along the sea, one into the mountains. We chose the beach tour which was very nice. The horses are in good shape and are well taken care of. Also helpful guides. Visited: November 2010 More

We saw a spectacled owl, a beautiful 3 meter snake, a very large green iguana, a red-capped manakin, a blue-crowned manakin, and a violaceous trogan, not to mention the... More

My boyfriend and I did the Sunset Horseback ride to Playa Hermosa and loved it!! We have both ridden before and done a few horseback tours so we were able to gallop along the beach. The horses are healthy and beautiful. More

Our guide was incredibly nice and knowledgeable and we saw howler monkeys, lizards, frogs, birds, and lots of great scenery on our... More

Lots of interesting... More

Loved galloping along the shoreline! Our guide was very knowledgeable and the entire experience was incredible! More

I usually horseback ride when I travel, and this was the best one ever. The horses are beautiful and we rode by the "nursery" for the baby cows with their moms and the baby horses with their moms. The property is beautiful and we saw monkeys, a sloth and 450-year old trees. They love their animals here, more than I've... More
