This was an extremely amazing experience and probably the biggest highlight of our trip. It took us some time getting used to the horses. There were some parts where the horses go up and down the narrow rocky path, but it’s all doable. The view at the last part of this tour was UNREAL. Our tour guide took some incredible photos of us riding the horses with the gorgeous sunset background. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of a challenge! I guarantee you will have one of the most unforgettable experiences in Costa Rica!

Absolutely amazing tour! Our group had 4 riders and our guide which made it very easy to keep up and receive assistance when needed. The ride lasted about 2.5 hours through the mountains with absolutely stunning views. The tour ended with a quick tour of the sugar mill and some taste testing that was great as well!

We had a stunning tour through rivers and the mountains and they really took their time to show us the farm and even made us a small snack and coffee after the ride! The trail was beautiful and our guide took so many great pictures! Would definitly recommend.
