What you'll do
Your adventure begins just south of Nosara in the hills behind Playa Guiones. You'll saddle up and trot over jungle trails while enjoying breathtaking views of the lush scenery. As you cross the river to the Gulf of Nosara, the wind in your hair and the sound of your horse's hooves on the ground will make you feel like you're truly one with nature.
As the sun is setting or rising, you'll arrive at Playa Pelada, a half-moon beach where you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of the white sands and the blue waves crashing on the shore. You'll have the opportunity to gallop along the beach as the sun sets or rises, depending on the ride you choose.
After your horseback ride, you'll return to your luxury eco-lodge in time for dinner or a late breakfast. This excursion is perfect for couples looking for a romantic adventure or anyone who loves horseback riding and wants to experience it in a unique and unforgettable way.
