The Mountains of Monteverde
The mountains of Monteverde are a beautiful place to ride. Monteverde (which means “Green Mountain”) is located in the Cordillera of Tilaran along the Continental Divide as approximately 1440 meters. It is famous for its Cloud Forests which boasts hundreds of birds, insects, mammals and species of plants.
Horse Trek Monteverde was started 6 years ago by owners Marvin Anchia and his wife, Janet Ellis. Costa Rican born, Marvin claims to have started riding before he was born as his mum used to ride when she was pregnant! By age 8 he was training horses on his father’s farm and his love of horses led to a life time of breeding and working with these amazing animals. Anyone who has had the privilege of seeing Marvin with his horses will soon appreciate the special report his has with his mounts. His skill in riding is pretty impressive!
Horse Riding in MonteverdeCanadian born Janet Ellis, moved to Costa Rica 10 years ago. Her love of horses soon led to her joining forces with Marvin and she tends to the business side of things (someone has to!). Horse Trek Monteverde offers all sorts of rides from 2.5 hours to multiday rides of 2 to 8 day riding vacations.
Both Marvin and Janet personally guide all the special 8-day vacations and between them they have a wealth of knowledge about Costa Rica and its flora and fauna.
Horse Trek Monteverde own 21 horses and now breed their own horses for their tours. It is a small personal set-up which allows them to be flexible with their customer’s needs.
Horse Trek Monteverde is located in the Monteverde area of Costa Rica and many of the riding tours are focused in this beautiful mountainous area, although the 8 day vacation travels further afield.
Horsetrek Monteverde works closely with Desafio Adventure Company through www.monteverdetours.com and www.arenalvolcanotours.com who offers a wide range of tours such as white water rafting and canyoneering as well as organizing canopy tours, shuttle buses, hotel reservation and full vacation packages.
