Jacó: Horseback Riding with Wildlife & Beach｜Costa Rica

Begin your journey in the heart of Jacó, Puntarenas, in a privileged and easily accessible location in Barrio Los Villalbos, Calle Gemelas — where the energy of downtown meets the tranquility of untouched nature.

Saddle up and set off on flat terrain, making this horseback riding experience comfortable and enjoyable for visitors of all ages and riding levels. Your expert local guide will lead you on horseback through a stunning oasis of biodiversity: lush oil palm plantations and tropical fruit trees — mangoes, lemons, and water apples — that serve as a natural magnet for incredible wildlife.

Along the way, keep your eyes open for vibrant butterflies, colorful birds, and some of Costa Rica's most beloved animals: curious white-faced monkeys swinging through the canopy, playful coatis (pizotes) roaming the forest floor, and the iconic sloth resting peacefully in the treetops — all spotted from the saddle in their natural habitat.

The ride then takes you toward the coast, where you'll enjoy a scenic stretch along the shores of Jacó Beach — a perfect setting for stunning photos and a memorable finale to your adventure. Those joining the afternoon session may also be treated to one of the most spectacular sunsets in the region, with majestic scarlet macaws gliding along the shoreline during the golden hour
