 The full day adventure begins after breakfast departing from Casa Corcovado into the rainforest as you follow a trail through the jungle passing remote homesteads and observing the incredible variety of plant life, butterflies and an abundance of bird species.
After about three hours of the trail ride there appears a beautiful crystal clear river, where there will be ample time to refresh yourself in a natural pool and be stunned by the force and majesty of an unforgettable waterfall.
A short ride away you come upon a typical thatched ¨ Rancho ¨ in a clearing where it’s lunchtime. Your hosts, Gregorio and his wife, will be serving a traditional Costa Rican meal while you relax in the shade. When lunch is over it’s back into the saddle. Starting back you begin to catch views of the ocean through the trees as you head down towards San Josecito beach where large flocks of scarlet macaws are common. Here there is a chance to gallop along a white sand beach, the sparking ocean on one side and the forest behind.
Coming to the end of the beach the trail leads you back into the forest for the last stretch towards home. Arriving back at the lodge with the late afternoon sun slanting through the trees you will be weary but aglow with the vivid images of a day unlike any other.
