Horseback Ride Tour

Discover a stunning waterfall and its beautiful surroundings on horseback. Let an experienced cowboy and his family show you the authentic Costa Rica! Once you have picked them up, the adventure in history and nature begins, starting with the Quepos Indians and guides you through the changes of Manuel Antonio to this day. Get to know Costa Rica’s exotic plants and rare wildlife as you drive through the tropical jungle and the private ecological reserve of Tocori, just minutes from Manuel Antonio.

After a relaxing one hour ride on horseback through the tropical rain forest, with the pace determined by your comfort level and riding ability, leave your horses on the trail as travel guide present you through the exotic plant and animal life on a nature walk. They will let you taste, smell, touch and observe the real Costa Rican jungle first-hand.

And do not forget to enjoy an unforgettable taste of local fresh fruits and a home-made special tropical drink made exclusively by a typical Tica family while you relax and cool off next to the waterfalls. After refreshing, you are ready for a drive through meandering Tocori streams to the private ranch, where you can enjoy a homemade Costa Rican “casado”, a typical Costa Rican dish or grand BBQ.
