Fiestas

From the end of November to the end of July is Fiesta Time Costa Rica. Every weekend traditional small town fiestas feature bull riding, traditional foods and dance. Horses abound, from Guanacaste cowboys to residents and visitors riding a variety of Costa Rica horse breeds. Costa Rican pasos offer a smooth highstepping ride. Excellent horses available for all riding abilities. Your horse will be waiting for you at the fiesta.

Topes
Sundays from 50-500 horse enthusiasts meet for the colorful Topes or horse parades and fiestas. Anyone can join in the festivities as a band leads the high stepping horses through town to the fiesta. After the parade, riders and their guests are treated to a reception with traditional food, drinks and music. Later riders join the fiesta to watch the bulls on horseback or can ride through the surrounding countryside. Half day rentals by arrangement, all ages and riding levels welcome, a real Costa Rican cultural experience.
