Most fun in Costa Rica!
This was the perfect tour for a shorter day trip, but still full of excitement. The horseback riding was not
your typical trail ride, lots of hills, tight trails and various landscapes. The hot springs was wonderful,
our guide truly made it fun and special! I would definitely do this tour again!
