Full description
A guided tour to a beautiful waterfall is a memorable experience. Doing this on horseback makes the experience unforgettable. Your 2.5 hour guided tour will begin at the Hotel Hacienda, where you will mount your gentle and people-friendly horses. You will set out to visit the stunning Oropéndola Waterfall first, taking in the beautiful scenery along the way. Filled with flora and fauna unique to the area it will be a unique experience. During the final part of the trip you will enter the forest in which the waterfall is located. Here you will need to dismount. Though the walk is easy to do by foot, it cannot be accomplished by the horse. In the forest you will find the mesmerizing Oropéndola Waterfall. Standing 25 metres (82 feet) in height, it is just begging onlookers to take a refreshing dip into its depths. Here you may wish to explore the peaceful canyon in which the waterfall is located. After exploring the area with your guide, you will take your time returning to your horse before mounting up again and returning to the lovely Hacienda Hotel. For those looking to fully appreciate the natural beauty of Costa Rica in a relaxed fashion, you cannot miss out on this laid back, yet enlightening tour.

There were only the two of us and the guide which was pretty nice. The horses were well trained but also sometimes tried to find their own way through the woods - which made us laugh a lot! We knew from the beginning that our guide only spoke Spanish. I tried to communicate a bit with my broken Spanish and he always tried so answer my questions in an understandable way. We spent about half an hour at the waterfall (if you don't want to take a bath it will probably be shorter) and all in all we were riding for about 2 hours. So the whole tour was longer than it says. Keep that in mind if you don't have a car! We took the bus from Liberia (6.30am-ish) to the final destination about 3km before the Hacienda and walked the rest (took us about 40min). There is only one bus a day, each to the Hacienda and back (1.15pm).Because of the early bus we arrived 2 hours too early at the Hacienda but they let us do the tour 1,5 hours earlier than we have booked. All in all a great expeirence!

The people at the front desk at this resort were amazing and very accommodating as we were running late for our tour. I believe our tour guide was Eric. He was amazing! Very confident riding horses, which made us feel more confident knowing that he was always there to help if we needed anything. The horses were very well behaved, and seemed happy and well-fed. Oropendola waterfalls is unreal! Absolute paradise!
