About Jaco Costa Rica Horseback Riding
We built this site around the experience we most want to share: exploring Jacó on horseback with local guides, calm horses and time to take in the scenery.
From a first ride to a private outing with your own group, we help you find a horseback experience that fits the people you are traveling with.
Horseback Riding Is Our Focus
A Closer Look at Jacó
Jacó is often experienced from the road or the beach. A guided horseback ride slows things down. Depending on the route and local conditions, riders may pass countryside paths, tropical vegetation, shallow streams and places with views toward the Pacific.
Our aim is to make the ride welcoming from the start. A guide introduces each guest to their horse, explains the basics before departure and leads the route at an appropriate pace. Beginners and experienced riders can both enjoy the landscape.
Wildlife may be seen along the way, but every ride is different. We would rather help you know what to expect than promise a particular animal sighting or an identical route every day.
