  Cabalgatas
A Cabalgata is a community horseback ride, hosted by a neighboring village to raise money for their school, church, etc.  Think 250 people on a trailride traversing challenging trails with gorgeous views.  

Food and drinks are included, though the fare is usually typical country Tico food.  

Cabalgatas are held on Sundays throughout the dry season and are guaranteed to be the most fun you'll have on horseback!  This is a full day event, and may include either riding the horse to the sponsoring village, or trucking the horses when necessary.



You must be an experienced rider to participate.  $100 per person.   
  Sunday Brunch Trailrides
Ride up the coastal ridge to Restaurant Pacheco,  situated high on a hill overlooking the ocean.  Sip on a Bloody Mary or Mango Mimosa while enjoying the unbelievable 360 degree views.  Feast on Eggs Benedict, Omelettes, Pancakes or other delicacies.  

We schedule these rides on Sundays -- IF there are no cabalgatas and IF the restaurant is open -- hey, things are kinda casual down here, ya know?   

$75 per person includes the trailride, brunch and one cocktail.
