Riding Into the Rainforest Near Jacó
Behind Jacó's beach the land rises quickly into tropical forest. Our Exclusive Jungle tour follows natural trails through this greenery beside a river that runs toward the Pacific Ocean. The canopy provides shade, so the ride is comfortable even in the middle of the day.
A Relaxed Hour in Nature
At one hour, this is our shortest tour and a natural choice for first-time riders, families and anyone who wants a calm introduction to horseback riding in Costa Rica. Your guide sets a gentle pace and will help you along the way.
Plants and Wildlife
Expect big-leaf tropical plants, tall trees and the sound of the river. The forests around Jacó are home to birds such as scarlet macaws, as well as iguanas and butterflies. Animals live wild here, so sightings are a bonus rather than a promise.
What to Bring
- Long pants and closed-toe shoes (trails can be muddy in the rainy season)
- Insect repellent and water
- A light rain jacket between May and November
Combine It With the Beach
Many visitors ride the jungle in the morning and spend the afternoon at the beach, or pair this tour with our Sunset ride on another day for two very different views of Jacó.

Jungle Tour FAQ
Can beginners participate in horseback riding tours?
Our one-hour Jungle tour is a great introduction to horseback riding in Costa Rica. Please tell us your riding experience when booking, and ask us on WhatsApp if you have questions about which tour suits you.
What wildlife might I see during a jungle ride?
The forests around Jacó are home to scarlet macaws, iguanas, colorful birds, butterflies and sometimes monkeys. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but keeping quiet and looking up into the canopy helps.
What should I wear horseback riding in Costa Rica?
Comfortable long pants or shorts you can ride in, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat are sensible choices. Bring water and insect repellent for jungle rides, and a light rain jacket in the green season.
Do I need to make a reservation?
Yes, we recommend booking in advance, especially for sunset rides and during the busy dry season, to secure your preferred date and time.
