Costa Rica
Horseback Riding
Ride into the sunset on a horse that already knows the way.
Guanacaste's sabaneros have worked these plains on horseback for generations, and their Criollo horses — sure-footed, unbothered, bred for this terrain — are the reason the tradition still runs the show. Gallop bareback-calm along Playa Guiones at low tide, or climb muddy switchbacks above La Fortuna and Monteverde where the trail ends at a waterfall nobody drives to.
