From the first moment you arrive, life softens — mornings begin with birdsong, afternoons unfold in forests and along hidden waterfalls, and evenings settle into deep calm beside the herd.

You’ll ride through tropical landscapes to the Punta Uva lookout, meet rescued horses and hear their stories, and share quiet moments of connection during guided meditation with the animals. The journey continues beyond the saddle — learning cacao traditions with the Bribri community, swimming at Volio waterfall, and spending a full day riding along wild coastline to the Manzanillo shipwreck and Gandoca Nature Reserve. Wildlife encounters, gentle free time, and a crystal bowl sound bath with horses bring balance between adventure and reflection.

Everything is thoughtfully paced, allowing space to breathe, explore, and truly feel each place. Comfortable accommodation becomes your home for the week, activities flow naturally from morning to evening, and experienced guides hold the space throughout. This retreat is for those ready to reconnect — with nature, with horses, and with themselves. Join the Spirit of the Horse Retreat and let the rhythm of the land guide you back to what matters!
