I have just updated the website with this season’s trekking schedule. Our December trek is already filled but our trek in January still has two spaces available and the schedule is open for February and March if you would like to schedule your own dates for either of the three treks that we offer. Please visit our main website pages for all the details.
5 nights lodging, 4 full days of riding.
Follow the Tulin River from its headwaters high in the mountains, as it passes through a variety of different ecosystems, through the Scarlet Macaw Corridor, to finally arrive at the beautiful and pristine beaches of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. This trek includes some exciting techinical riding in the mountains and, as the river assimilates its many tributaries and widens, plenty of chances to ride all gaits. At the beach you will enjoy galloping along the uninhabited beaches and swimming with your horse in the ocean. Lodging is with rural, farming families along the trek route (3 nights) and at an upscale beach front hotel (2 nights). For a detailed trek itinerary with schedules and pricing, please visit our
