Leave the main road behind and ride into the jungle hills near Puerto Viejo — cross a river, climb a mountain and help move young calves on a working countryside ranch.

Step off the main road and straight into nature on this horseback adventure into the jungle hills near Puerto Viejo.

You'll ride deep into the jungle landscape and get a taste of authentic Costa Rican countryside life. The trail crosses a small river and climbs a hill up the mountain, where you'll meet the farm animals and take part in a genuine ranch activity: helping move young calves across the land.

It's a hands-on, memorable experience that connects you with traditional Costa Rican farm life — a great complement to the beach rides, and a fun one for families.
