Wear long trousers even if it's hot. Else the flies irritate you - # Costa Rican Adventure: A Journey of Discovery In the heart of lush tropical wilderness, our expedition came alive under the watchful guidance of Alvin, a true embodiment of Costa Rican hospitality. With the characteristic warmth that locals—affectionately known as Ticos—are renowned for, Alvin transformed our journey from a simple excursion into an unforgettable adventure. The path wound through dense jungle, where every step revealed new wonders of biodiversity and natural beauty. Vegetation closed in around us, creating a vivid green corridor that led to our ultimate reward: a majestic waterfall cascading into a natural pool that beckoned with its crystal-clear waters. The refreshing immersion was perfectly timed—nature's own spa treatment after our trek through the humid rainforest. Our return journey held one final treasure. Seated together, we savored authentic Costa Rican cuisine, the perfect cultural complement to our natural exploration. Each bite told a story of local traditions and ingredients, completing our sensory journey through this slice of paradise. Through Alvin's expertise and genuine charm, we experienced not just Costa Rica's landscapes, but its very soul—a perfect harmony of natural wonder and human warmth that defines the true essence of this remarkable country.

Great time for the family - Very enjoyable experience for my family (me, my husband, and our 10 and 13 yo girls). They picked us up from our hotel and we drove 25 minutes to their ranch. The horses seemed well cared for. It was just the four of us on the tour so we had a private tour. Our guide, Monos, talked about the plants along the way and pointed out animals. The mini waterfall at the turn around point was beautiful and refreshing. The lunch back at the ranch was nice and they had a nice open clean set up. They do cooking classes there as well. We had a great time!

Buen tour - A very good horseback riding tour along some roads between mountains ending in a waterfall. And the guide pending everything. Finishing at lunch after the excursion.

Would do again! - Horses was in good condition and well-behaved. Tour guide well-experienced with horses and the history around the area. Beautiful surroundings and nice dip in the waterfall with a great lunch after!

Horseback riding through the mountains (guided by Alvin) - First off, Alvin did an AWESOME job guiding this tour. Alvin is super kind and easy to talk to. This adventure is a must do in the Manuel Antonio area.

Amazing Experience - Kids and adults in our group loved this. It was beautiful to ride horses through the jungle. It rained on us in the middle and they had ponchos ready for all the riders. It definitely added to the experience. We loved swimming under the waterfall at the end. My son loved all the frogs he saw there. The lunch after was delicious. It was a wonderful experience! One of our favorite from our trip!

Indiana Jones Horseback Riding and Waterfall adventure - Awesome horseback riding and tour guide was very knowledgeable! My family enjoyed swimming at the waterfalls which was truly mystical! Pura Vida!

AMAZING - Caesar was an absolutely amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable and made everyone feel at ease. Our ride through the forest was beautiful and the waterfall we swam in felt great. It started pouring rain on our way back and it was literally one of the best experiences I've had. Thank you so much!

Horsebacking to waterfall - So this trip started off with 7 people being picked up. We were taken to this adorable ranch with animals and horses. The goose had just lost its partner and was honking away at us. By the time with got to the horses, everyone chickened out except myself and my husband who had never been on a horse. The company was kind and drove them back. We had a private trip. It was through beautiful scenery and our horses were well trained. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The trail could be steep at some points but our guide was there to help us. At the end of our journey we swam in a small stream under a waterfall. It was so refreshing. We then journeyed back for a wonderful lunch. I loved the dog who followed us the whole time. We have photos to never forget
