Vi vil passere over søen Arenal Dam. Arenal Lake er en betagende menneskeskabt sø beliggende i det nordlige Costa Rica, ved bunden af den ikoniske Arenal vulkan. Omfatter omkring 85 kvadratkilometer (33 kvadratkilometer), er det den største sø i landet og en afgørende kilde til vandkraft, der leverer næsten 70% af Costa Ricas vedvarende energi. Ud over sin økologiske og økonomiske betydning er Arenal Lake et fristed for udendørs entusiaster. Søens rolige men omfattende farvande er perfekte til aktiviteter som kajak, stand-up paddleboarding, jetski og bådture. Dens stærke vinde fra december til april gør det også til et af de bedste steder i landet for windsurfing og kiteboarding. Omgivet af frodig regnskov, rullende bakker og fantastisk udsigt over vulkanen, er søen hjemsted for et væld af dyreliv, herunder hulerapper, toukaner og forskellige arter af ferskvandsfisk. Uanset om du leder efter eventyr, afslapning eller en chance for at forbinde med naturen,

This was the only horse-riding company that could accomodate our 5-year old daughter in the area, and both she and the rest of the family had a wonderful time. She was provided with a double-saddle, thus was able to sit with my wife, and from chatting with the guides I discovered they have a variety of speciality saddles so that they can also support people with disabilities. None of us are experienced with horses, and when my son was uncomfortable one of the guides led the horse so that he didn't have to worry. The tour itself was done in torrential rain, but we still enjoyed it even though we were dripping and smelling of wet horse. The ride was through a variety of paths, across the fields and into the jungle, and through the river itself which was quite exciting. The horses knew exatcly what to do, making it easy for beginners like ourselves.
Awesome! The welcome is great. Incredible walk with a splendid view of the volcano.
Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique commentaire ! 😊 Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié l’accueil, la balade et surtout la splendide vue sur le volcan. Ce fut un plaisir de vous recevoir et nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau ! 🌋🐎
Alonso and Giovanni were amazing tour guides. He used my phone to take great pictures and the experience was amazing! We finished with a great fruit snack with a spectacular view of Arenal . Great way to see the area! My kids loved it. Wear long pants and rain jacket. Your clothes could get splashed with mud
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🤠🌋 We’re thrilled to hear that Alonso and Giovanni made your experience so special. They truly love sharing the beauty of Arenal with our guests, and we’ll make sure to pass along your kind words to them. It’s great to know you enjoyed the photos, the horseback ride, and the fresh fruit snack with the spectacular view of Arenal Volcano. We’re especially happy that your kids loved the tour — creating memorable family adventures is exactly what we aim for. And thank you for the helpful tip about long pants and a rain jacket — Costa Rica’s trails can definitely get a little muddy, especially during the rainy season, but that’s part of the adventure! 🌿🐴 We hope to welcome you and your family back to Pacos Horses on your next visit to La Fortuna!
Was definitely a lot of fun and we had a great time. I don’t necessarily agree with the description that this tour is beginner friendly or kid friendly. These horses trekked up and down very steep areas and upstream in the river, not just across. Had my partner and I not both had experience on horses I definitely would have been intimidated. Regardless, we really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone looking for an adventure.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the adventure. 🤠🌿 We also truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the tour's difficulty. Safety is our top priority, and our guides carefully match each horse to the rider's experience while providing instructions throughout the ride. Although many beginners and families successfully enjoy the tour, the natural terrain around Arenal does include hills, river crossings, and uneven paths, which are all part of the authentic experience. Your comments are very valuable and will help us review how we describe the tour so future guests know exactly what to expect. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!
I'm writing review today to acknowledge the welfare conditions of the horses. Several things caught my attention and concerned me deeply. If you have any knowledge of the safety required for horses on trails then you would know that this trails here are treacherous for the horses the entire time. These trails include extremely deep mud as well as large uneven rocks. My horse struggled to find foot placement and slipped sometimes. I felt awful leaving this establishment knowing that someone has allowed this to happen. Something you should know is that Paco's horseback is located in mistico Park on private property. Therefore Paco does have the ability to maintain these trails for the safety of the horses. I will be proceeding to report these conditions to SENASA a local welfare organization that should be notified about this immediately. It broke my heart to realize that these horses have to work extremely hard and put themselves in danger for the entertainment of the riders. I regret booking this trip and hope that these horses will get the treatment that they deserve in the future. These trails risk the horses bruising their hooves and potentially spraining their ankles. It does not require an expert to see this if you are on the trail. I never been on a trail with horses with this type of terrain seeing the horses exhausted, panting and carefully trying to find their foot placement the entire time. Please do better for these animals. Additionally when I arrived I had noticed a horse had been bitten by another horse and was bleeding. I notified Paco for knowing if he should separate the horses. He smiled and said that he was a new horse and clearly didn't think much of it. Please keep all this in mind before booking the trip, these animals are not being well taken care of. Finding new activity or find out if the conditions are safe for the animals first.
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling this way. The health and well-being of our horses is our highest priority. They are part of our family, and we invest a great deal of time and resources in their care, including regular veterinary checkups, proper nutrition, carefully managed work schedules, and daily monitoring to ensure they remain healthy and fit. The trails we use are natural rainforest trails, and the terrain changes throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Our horses are specifically selected and trained for this environment and are experienced navigating these conditions safely. We continuously monitor and maintain the sections of the trail that can be improved while preserving the natural surroundings. Regarding the horse you mentioned, we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Small superficial bites or scratches can occasionally occur when horses establish their social hierarchy, especially when introducing a new horse to the group. Even so, every injury, no matter how minor, is cleaned, monitored, and treated appropriately by our team. We respect your perspective and understand that witnessing horses carefully navigating natural terrain can be concerning if you're unfamiliar with how they move in these environments. However, we take any feedback related to animal welfare very seriously and are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We remain committed to providing a safe, responsible, and enjoyable experience for both our guests and, most importantly, our horses.

Aquí tienes la traducción al inglés: "Paco Horse was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip to Costa Rica. None of us had any experience with horses, but the horses are very well-trained and very docile. Before starting the tour, they offered us basic but very necessary training that helped us learn how to guide the horse. Our guides, Kenneth and Giovanny, were very attentive to us and even took one of our phones to take photos and videos of our family. We are very grateful because we are bringing back beautiful memories and an unforgettable experience. I would definitely do it again!!!"
