Horseback Riding in Costa Rica

Costa Rica Horseback Riding
Horseback Riding in Costa Rica








Costa Rica is an excellent destination for adventure travel and the best way to see the most fascinating parts of the country is on horseback. One has the double advantage of getting to remote places and enjoying one of the world's great sports which has intrigued and rewarded mankind for thousands of years.

Costa Rica stands out in Latin America as a haven of political stability, freedom and ecological responsibility. It is blessed with a tremendous variety of ecosystems from the Caribbean to the Pacific and an unprecedentedly high percentage of it is given over to national parks. The bio diversity is tremendous and goes from coast line to highlands to volcanic peaks. In a short time one can change from a gallop on the beach to walking along a trail through the cloud forest with its lush jungle life. This is the home of monkeys, tree frogs, lizards, butterflies, orchids and countless other fascinating flora and fauna.

Costa Rica is comparatively easy to reach with many short flights from the US and no jet lag. Ticos, as the local people call themselves, are friendly and welcoming. They are proud of their rich culture and the beauty of their landscape which they have made such efforts to protect. It is easy to see why this attractive country has become such a popular tourist destination.

"This adventure wasn't long enough. I can't put into words how much I enjoyed Costa Rica. It was just awesome. I loved the monkeys, birds, butterflies - just everything."
Elsie Beachey, Ohio
