Discover the countryside near Puerto Jiménez on horseback, beginning at Osa Green Paradise in Cañaza. After a safety briefing and horse assignment, ride at a comfortable, controlled pace through a varied tropical landscape shaped by rivers, rainforest and generations of rural life.
The route uses sections of quiet public road, river habitat and private properties where passage is authorized. Depending on the option selected, you may ride through former agricultural and cattle farms—some now regenerating naturally—primary forest and open countryside before reaching a scenic viewpoint. An optional river swim offers time to cool off when weather and water conditions are suitable.
The half-day route continues deeper toward primary rainforest near the boundary of Corcovado National Park, without entering the protected park.
This is a guided nature ride, not a high-speed riding experience. The advertised pace is relaxed and controlled. Wildlife sightings, river swimming and exact trail conditions cannot be guaranteed and depend on nature, weather and safety.
Please arrive 20 minutes before departure. Routes and stopping times may be adjusted by the guide according to weather, river level, trail conditions and rider safety. The half-day option requires greater stamina and previous riding experience is strongly recommended.
The horses follow a semi-stabled care system, spending part of their time in ventilated stalls and part in pasture. They receive hay, concentrated feed and fresh water, with regular supervision, camera monitoring and veterinary support. Horses are assigned according to each rider’s weight, height and experience to protect both guest safety and animal welfare.
