Costa Rica Equestrian Vacation
The Programs
Costa Rican Playa & Vistas Trek 
For the first 2 days you will train with certified and experienced instructors in private lessons as well as 2 hour trail rides on the beach and in the hills to view native wild life such as Howler Monkeys. Also available will be seminars and clinics on topics such as health care, first aid, and natural horsemanship. Approximately 3.5 to 4 hours of riding a day.
On the third day we will commence on our Trek, riding 3 hours to a lovely little beach side fishing village where lunch will be served. After a break we will continue to ride down the beach and then up through some lovely pasture land until we reach La Joya de Lagarto, a small beach side hotel and restaurant. Your overnight gear will be in your room and there will be time for a swim in the ocean or a dip in the pool and then sunset and dinner at the restaurant with breath taking views.
The second day of the trek starts on the beach heading to Marbella. This is a beautiful beach famous for its surf, but also fantastic for a good gallop. The ride will take you both inland and on the beach for about 3.5 hours. We will stop in San Juanillo for a little break and then head up into the hills for some breath taking views. We will return to San Juanillo to stay at Hotel El Sueno and have dinner at their famous Buddha Bar. Your over night gear will be at the hotel. In the evening a car will be available to take anyone who wishes to go explore Playa Ostional and search for turtles. The town of Ostional has guided tours of the nesting grounds and depending on the time of year and month you should be able to see turtles coming to shore to lay their eggs or little hatchlings making their way to the sea.
The final day of the trek starts in land and we make our way down to Playa Ostional. This beach offers about 1.5 hours of wide open beach riding time. It is one of the most beautiful beaches to ride on. Depending on the season we will then cross the Nosara River and explore the beaches and inland roads until we hit the end of Nosara. If the Nosara river is too high and filled with not so friendly Crocs we will turn around and ride the beach back to the village of Ostional. A driver will be there to pick you up, with your overnight gear, and take you back to your house.
On the 6th day we give the horses a rest, but you can enjoy a surfing lesson, or massage.
On the final day of this package you can choose a morning lesson, or clinic and end the day with a sunset trail ride.
