We thoroughly enjoyed seven days on horseback in the Costa Rican back country with breath taking vistas of the cloud forests, rainbows, coffee plantations, cattle ranches, secluded waterfalls and scenic steep terrain. Marvin, our wonderful guide, knew the terrain, the animal and plant life, local communities and had skillfully planned our daily rides on his superbly trained horses. Our horse... More

a very long (too long) of a horseback riding tour, unless you are an experienced rider. 3 hours. Needed a massage afterward to my body wouldn't be wrecked for the rest of my trip. My wife loved it but I would not do it again. More

We did the short horseback ride of 2.5 hours one afternoon after visiting the forest in the morning. Both my 12 yo daughter and I are novices.

Bringing a wind... More

Then, he offered the horse to our daughter for the ride and the horse transformed into the most calm trail horse you could imagine. She was so proud to ride him. Marvin was... More

Where do we begin. I was traveling for the first time to CR with my family of 8, teens, preteens, and young children. We scheduled the tour from here in the US. I am a novice rider (chicken), while my wife and kids are fearless. I had many questions about safety, dress (bring a sweatshirt it's cold in the mountains),... More
