Hiking & Horseback Riding

Horseback riding through the Tropical Rainforest Whether on the property itself, along the rivers or down the beach to the Corcovado National Park, beautiful trails and hiking opportunities abound. Day trips to the Madrigral River and hiking up to the Carate waterfall offer spectacular rainforest viewing and scenery. You may choose organized treks in groups with guides or wander alone along private trails. Horses with guides are available for those who prefer to see the rainforest, rivers and beach from a different angle and pace. Or ride to nearby Rio Oro and try your luck gold panning.
