Itinerary:
Day 1
Your Centaura leader will be right outside the terminal to meet you, and you
can fall asleep in the 4×4 as we drive, or you can start bombarding him with thousands of questions. So it will be an easy day, driving across the mountains.
Day 2
Today we will pick out the horses you want to ride on your trip and try out different saddles until you have your favorite all picked out.
The horses are very well trained, and even inexperienced riders quickly gain
control of their mounts. We’ll spend a good part of our day riding around our farm.
Day 3
Today we take you to the cloud forest ride.
We will ride down on primary cloud forest, amazing plantations and villages. Horseback is one of the most amazing ways to see the forest. Let the horse
watch his feet while you, relieved of the need to watch your footing, can keep your eyes focused on the splendor of the flora, and spot a bit of fauna
as well.
Then because you have earned it, there are hot springs.
There’s a private place with no buses, no signs, and only a few people
enjoying the hot water and hot water waterfall and fresh fruit drinks.
Day 4
We have many trails to ride (in or out of our ranch)
Arenal Volcano Ride
Upper farm ride
Peñas Blancas River ride
Local hot springs ride
With your help, We will pick the best ride for you.
Day 5
Today we move you to the Beach. The drive is about 4-4.5 hours from our Farm.
We make a couple of stops on the way, for treats and surprises.
Day 6
We are riding on a large cattle ranches bordering the Ocean. Our friend’s ranches encompass every form of tropical terrain, from dry pastures and lush meadows to old forest (actually containing primary forest, with trees in excess of 600 years of age– the classic Tarzan jungle) and ending on the beach — beach inaccessible except on foot, horse, or boat. So it’s probable you’ll be there all alone, and the surf is perfect for a swim.
Day 7
Once again, we give you the option of choosing another amazing ride at the beach or to choose another activity in the area.
