What an absolutely incredible experience! This place is truly breathtaking. The horseback ride took us through the most stunning scenery, and the horses were calm, gentle, and so well cared for—it made the whole experience unforgettable. We booked completely by chance, and it turned out to be the best culinary experience of my life. Every ingredient comes from local farms, and you can truly taste the freshness and quality in every single bite. The family who runs this place has been here for generations, and you can feel the love, passion, and dedication they pour into everything they do. They genuinely care about every detail and go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. If Michelin stars were awarded based on guests’ experiences and heartfelt reviews, I would be the first person to vote for them. They deserve every bit of recognition. Thank you so much for everything you did for us. We will never forget this amazing experience and can’t wait to come back!

The riding trip on Finca Queveri was an all-round beautiful experience. Very warm people who take their time and share a lot of exciting knowledge about wildlife and animal research in the area. The horses are calm, loving and obviously very well maintained. You feel safe and well accompanied at all times. The landscape is impressive and the ride pleasantly relaxed. A real highlight was the food: super fresh, regional and really delicious. Overall an authentic, personal and high-quality experience. Clear recommendation for all those travelling in the Orosi Valley
Wonderful day with super hosts. The weather was perfect, just like our horses. The view and tranquility wonderful. We would definitely come back.
We arrived at the finca with no issues, thanks to the signs. The way was steep, but the views more than make up for it. I was traveling with three littles kids and they absolutely loved the tour. The horses were super tame and used to people. My four-year-old niece rode in the same saddle as I and she had a blast, even singing to the horses as we rode through the mountains.
Best ever horseback riding tour! Jungle and mountains with easy to ride horses. The best deal! We added the homemade dinner with the freshest ingredients from their farm. Incredibly friendly owners.
We loved this family. Sweet, down to earth, enjoying what they do. Their horses were super calm, well trained and the views on the trail were beautiful. All sorts of farm animals, gorgeous flowers and fauna. Definitely a great deal with dinner or lunch included.
The hosts of this tour are extremely friendly and personable. Beware as the road up is extremely rocky so get a 4x4 SUV and you're ok. The horseback riding seemed to go on and on which was fantastic and made this tour well worth the money. The farm has cows, goats, pigs, chickens and of course horses. The horses you ride are extremely well mannered and calm. The view in the hills is incredible and breathtaking. Coffee and banana bread was perfect before the tour and then afterwards we got a delicious lunch made from products of the farm! Don't book a horse back tour anywhere but here!
One of the best tours you could EVER book! It was our first time riding horses and the horses were so kind! One of the owners made us amazing meals and beverages, and was so sweet!!!!!! Forget about the big horseback tours and experience an authentic and genuine tour, you will not regret it. Everything about this tour is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!
Very nice welcome. Afterwards we were allowed to enjoy a beautiful horseback riding tour in the area. The horses are very nice and calm.
Great family business and lovely people. We did the horse riding tour with my 9 and 11yo girls- we all loved it. Enjoyed the lunch afterwards. Highly recommended.
