Fully Bilingual Experienced Guides
When we arrived at the park, the team welcomed us with a safety briefing and a clear outline of what the ride would entail. Their calm approach and in-depth knowledge of the area immediately made everyone feel comfortable.
With many years of guiding horseback riding tours near Jaco, Costa Rica, they know how to keep the ride smooth, fun, and safe for guests of all ages.
Finding the Right Horse
Before heading out, each person was paired with a horse that matched their riding style and comfort level. Somehow, the guides always know who fits best with each horse.
I was paired with a gentle chestnut with a calm personality and a strong interest in snacking along the trail. He was steady, sweet, and very food-motivated—which made the ride even more entertaining.
Riding Through the Jungle
The route led us through shaded jungle paths with tall trees and birds moving overhead. We crossed small rivers, passed open clearings, and took our time enjoying the surroundings.
The horses were patient and easy to guide, which made the Los Sueños horseback trail ride feel relaxed and approachable—even for beginners.
The Refreshing Waterfall In The Rainforest
Halfway through the ride, we reached a small waterfall tucked between the trees. It was a quiet, refreshing place to rest, take photos, and dip our feet in the cool water.
It felt like a moment away from everything, peaceful and straightforward.
Costa Rican Typical Lunch
Back at the ranch, a local buffet lunch was waiting—fresh fruit, warm dishes, and friendly conversation with the guides. It felt more like eating with people you’ve known for a while than a formal tour.
Before leaving, we said goodbye to our horses, and of course, my cheeky steed got one last bite of grass before heading back to the stables.
