A Horseback Riding Tour in Jaco
A number of reasons may come to mind, but the one I like best is simply to get away from the hustle and bustle of our work world and life. Think about it. You get to a different country, in this case, Jaco, Costa Rica.
There are no trains, planes and especially not automobiles to spoil the serenity of the countryside. You simply get on your horse and ride away into the lush tropical forests. You see streams you’ve never seen before, waterfalls you’ve never seen before.
You may, if you look closely, catch a glimpse of some of the exotic animals that inhabit the area. Monkeys abound, as do coatis, deer, toucans, and macaws. The bonus is that you aren’t staring at them through the bars of a zoo cage.
Jaco horseback riding is a unique experience. You simply can’t beat it. Whether you want a rugged experience or a gentle ride down the beach, Jaco horseback riding can give it to you.
Horseback adventures abound in the area. Your only difficulty will be which one to choose. Here are only a few. The premier provider for Jaco horseback riding is, without a doubt, Discovery Horseback Tours.
They provide well-trained horses that are calm and responsive. Their tours include their 1500 acre private rain forest and farm reserve. One trip includes a stop at a private all-natural spa where you can bathe in the falls or give yourself a mud bath while enjoying the natural beauty that surrounds you.
Their horses aren’t purchased from horse farms. Most of them are rescues and are trained with trust-based natural horsemanship methods. Their horses are loved and well cared for to provide a gentle and satisfying experience for all their clients. Jaco horseback riding offers more than just the jungle spa tour.
The El Pueblo tour will take you to a magnificent butterfly garden, an old church, and even an old bull ring. Winding along great trails you get spectacular views of the Rio Turrabilita and visit the small village of Montelimar.
It’s an incredible way to spend half a day out in nature. Maybe, just maybe, you prefer riding along the beach. Jaco horseback riding can accommodate you. If you ride early in the morning you will see the flocks of scarlet macaws that make their homes in the surrounding almond trees.
You can watch the sunrise and enjoy the gentle wash of the waves from the ocean. Or you may prefer riding in the evening and watching the sunset over the lush hills. In either case, you are all alone, on a deserted beach.
Only 4 are allowed on the beach ride at a time to preserve the solitude and serenity of the area. For the newlyweds or those who feel like newlyweds, Jaco horseback riding offers a ride through pristine forests for you, your loved one, and the guide to a lush natural jungle spa.
There you can luxuriate in a glass of champagne, a tropical fruit salad, and the security of knowing your guide has left you alone to enjoy each other’s company for a time. You can enjoy the luxurious and famous volcanic mud, wash off in the springs, and leave refreshed and invigorated.
You’ll never have a more satisfying and fulfilling experience, and you’ll remember it for the rest of your life. If you wish you can simply take a quiet ride into the forest and watch the 3 species of monkey that live close by. We’ve already mentioned the macaws and toucans, which are teeming in the forest. But there is also a myriad of other birds and animals that live there. You may see an iguana or two. Or three. Or the coatis.

You’ll see the waterfalls and streams. The horses will make you feel like an expert rider the second you slip into the saddle. The adventure is only beginning. These are only a few of the wonderful things that await you in the jungles of Costa Rica and with the Jaco horseback riding tours you can take. See you there!
