Description
Experience Guanacaste on horseback, riding along three distinctive beaches and through tropical dry forest trails rich in wildlife in a single two-hour journey.
The ride starts on the sandy shores with ocean breezes and wave sounds. You can gallop along the shoreline before entering the rare tropical dry forest ecosystem, home to mot-mot birds, egrets, iguanas, reptiles, and large termite nests.
You may hear the deep roar of howler monkeys, the loudest land mammals in the region, echoing through the trees.
At the end of the ride, Maynor — the tour owner and guide — offers fresh seasonal tropical fruits such as mangoes, pineapples, or watermelon, depending on the season.
