You start on the low, humid slope above Jaco with the smell of wet earth and sea in the same inhale. Horses shift impatiently as guides fit helmets and cinch saddles; then the trail climbs through pasture and scrub, opening onto a thin ridge with an ocean view. The ride to the mountain top takes about 45 minutes — rhythmic hooves, farm fences, and a scatter of tropical birds — before a short hike down to a cool, natural swimming pool tucked behind a curtain of ferns.
moderate.
4 hours.
Moderate — comfortable mounting a horse, able to walk short uneven trails, and handle bumpy ATV rides.
No advanced experience required; guides pair riders with suitable horses and provide basic ATV instruction, though prior comfort on a horse and willingness to follow safety directions helps.
A Visa or Mastercard is held as a refundable deposit (the operator notes a minimum hold amount per vehicle); you can instead pay a non-refundable insurance fee onsite.
Yes — the natural pool is shallow in places and guides allow about 30 minutes for swimming, but standard caution around slippery rocks is advised.
Families with older children who meet the operator’s safety requirements can join, but it’s not recommended for infants or guests with spinal, heart, or pregnancy-related restrictions.
Jaco evolved from a fishing and ranching community into a surf and adventure hub over recent decades; many trail routes cross family farms and former cacao plots.
Stick to marked trails, avoid washing sunscreen in the pools, and follow guides’ instructions to minimize erosion and protect river health.
