This ride has become the heart of our riding vacations. It is a star ride: you stay at our farm, and every ride starts from the farm in a different direction – across the Continental Divide, with views of Lake Arenal and Volcano Arenal.

You travel light and keep the same room during your stay. After the rides, enjoy the trails on the farm, relax in the mini pool, go birdwatching, or simply watch the horses graze in the field. You can also stroll through town and enjoy the local Monteverde vibe.

Arrival:

You come with your own rental car and check in at our farm between Monteverde and Tilarán. Driving directions come with your reservation.

Day 2 – Across the Continental Divide

Our farm lies right below the Continental Divide, where two climate zones meet. We ride up and across it through remote countryside, with views of the Pacific on one side and Lake Arenal and Volcano Arenal on the other.

Day 3 – Toward the Guanacaste climate zone

We ride across several mountain ridges that reach out from Monteverde, getting closer to Guanacaste, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean along the way.

The routes on Days 2 and 3 may vary depending on the weather, the views and trail conditions.
