Citrus, sugar, coffee, and mango plantations line the road as your trek through rural farming communities.

After a spectacular 60-minute drive you will arrive at a private ranch where you will have some free time to use the restrooms and explore your surroundings.  An authentic, local Caballero (cowboy) will pair you with the right horse to ensure a safe and enjoyable two-hour riding adventure using a western saddle. Whether it is your first time, or you have loads of riding experience, you will enjoy your time on this “local” journey through Costa Rican rainforest. While on horseback enjoy the sights, smells, and sounds of the rainforest, beach, river, and mangroves, home to a diverse population of macaws, howler monkeys, and various aquatic birds.

Upon completion of your riding adventure, you will embark on a one-hour boat tour of the Tarcoles River, home to one of the largest populations of the giant American crocodile. Your boat captain will navigate the special riverboats along the Tarcoles River where you can spot the resident reptiles basking on the banks. Get an up-close yet very safe view of these spectacular creatures. Do not forget your camera for your hour-long boat adventure.

Upon completion of your excellent adventures, you will return directly to your Puerto Caldera cruise port. This is a unique experience and you'll have tons of stories to tell!
