What to expect

  1. Arenal Volcano riding tour
    2h · Admission ticket included
    The tour begins in our stables to continue through “El Silencio Reserve”; a quiet place with trails that gradually climb through cattle grazing fields to patches of forest. You will enjoy the large shade trees and a variety of flora and fauna. We will visit the lagoon crater and the Arenal Volcano viewpoint, two of the area's most impressive attractions. From this viewpoint, you can take breathtaking pictures of your horse with the volcano as your backdrop. Here, you will also observe impressive rock mountains; the product of past eruptions of the volcano.
    If everyone knew the benefits of horseback riding as a recreational activity, we would not have enough horses. Feel how each gallop increases your self-esteem, self-confidence, and love for living creatures, and even makes you forget the existence of cell phones, except to capture a good photograph. Even Sigmund Freud could not achieve the same results as a simple horseback ride!
  2. La Fortuna Waterfall
    1h · Admission ticket included
    After this relaxing ride, we will return to the stable, where our transportation will be waiting to take us to the next part of today’s adventure. We will drive 30 minutes to the La Fortuna Waterfall where we will begin with a 300 meter (984 ft.) walk down steps and comfortable rest areas to the base of the impressive waterfall. Your expert naturalist guide will share interesting information about the geological aspects of the rock formations and the history of the tall basalt columns that gave rise to this waterfall. The trail ends right in front of the powerful 70-meter (230 ft.) waterfall, which is the perfect place to take impressive photographs. You can swim in the river at the base, just not too close to the falls. The combination of these two activities makes for one unforgettable experience.
