Cabalgata a la Catarata La Fortuna

Such a fun experience. We got to ride horses to the base of the waterfall and our tour guide Cell brought us up on foot to different spots to view the waterfall

So I would never go to a different country and expect people to speak my language, but I had specifically chose on the site that my guide speak English as I do not speak Spanish. All prior communication through whatsapp was in English which was a bit misleading. It was my first time riding a horse and I had to use context clues to figure it out (And the cutest two dogs) The hike to the waterfall was silent while I saw other guides pointing out different plants and animals. I love that I tried something new, I just know it would have been an amazing experience if it wasn't for the language barrier.

I really enjoyed this and everyone I met with the company was very friendly and accommodating. It was a great afternoon.

The waterfall hike is intense! Take your time. Zel was our guide; he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The horse ride hurts a bit on the way back but definitely worth it.

We were disappointed with this experience. The guide made some inappropriate flirtatious comments to my friend and did not focus enough on ensuring the group’s comfort and safety. He was insistent with people who were clearly afraid of riding, even after they explained that the horse did not obey and asked not to continue. The horses showed signs of poor treatment — they seemed conditioned, had visible sores, and sometimes slipped on the uphill path. What we thought would be a short ride turned into almost two hours round trip. For those not used to horseback riding, it was painful and exhausting. Overall, the horses appeared mistreated, the ride felt unsafe, and the experience was not enjoyable. I would not recommend this tour.

Zel was our guide and was amazing we saw a family of monkeys on our way and he took amazing videos for us the horseback ride to and from the waterfall is a must because the hike there is a deep workout but definitely worth it once you get there it’s amazing .

Do not skip this tour if visiting La Fortuna! Guides Sell and Christian were very kind and helpful to me, as well as everyone in the group who booked. They told you everything you needed to know about having a safe and smooth horseback ride to the waterfall. This is like the all inclusive resort of tours, you see the waterfall, get to swim, see the volcano, see wildlife, entry to the national park, and ride horses!! Coming back and I’m bringing friends :)

Guide was constantly looking to find things for us to see. He was very knowledgeable. Horses were also very calm and knew their way. Tough walking back up from the waterfall but well worth it.

Make sure your ready for 400 steps up and down but it was an amazing experience nonetheless would do again

Nice experience but felt it was too short of a horse ride. We only had about an hour total riding time. While the waterfall was a nice experience we were looking for more a horse riding experience.
