A comfortable air-conditioned coach ride introduces you to a variety of landscapes, including mango and watermelon plantations, lush forests, and mountain views. Your destination is the highlands of Alajuela Province.
Rancho San Miguel is a school of high equestrian arts, exhibiting horse fiestas for more than 30 years. It is famous throughout the Americas for its pure-bred Andalusian horses. A local expert will greet you at the ranch and share a vast knowledge of the equine world of mares and stallions. Watch a horse show exhibiting dressage training of the magnificent Andalusian steeds. The horses' work is matched by the riders' ability — talented, Amazonian young women whose work ethic, training and discipline are second to none. The choreography includes the mares, their offspring, the hacienda carriage, a stallion, the long pole, and the equestrian fantasy — synchronized sequencing. Every act is explained by your expert guide and accompanied by Flamenco music.
Conclude your experience with a visit to the CROC Sky Walk Experience Center, where you will observe crocodiles from a scenic viewing platform, enjoy a chocolate-making demonstration, sample tropical fruits and Costa Rican coffee, and browse for local handcrafted souvenirs.
