Horseback Riding in Manuel Antonio/Quepos

If your tropical fantasy is to ride a horse down a beach between jungle and ocean, contact Stable Equus (tel. 777-0001), which charges $35 for a 2-hour ride in Manuel Antonio. This stable allegedly treats its animals more humanely than other stables in the area and is also concerned with keeping horse droppings off the beaches.

Brisas del Nara (tel. 779-1235) offers full- and half-day horseback excursions that pass through both primary and secondary forest and feature a swimming stop at a jungle waterfall. A full-day tour with these folks, including breakfast and lunch, costs $55 per person ($45 half-day).
