Great activity even for beginners - Even for unexpierienced riders it is a grat activity. You learn about horses and riding and about your own body. You see the magnificent landscape and have amazing views from the top of the hills. We can really recommend it!

Fun family horseback experience! - We were staying near Nuevo Arenal, so I was happy to find an adventure park only 20 minutes from our AirBnB. My family of six (including four kids ages 8-12) enjoyed our horseback experience at CRParaiso so much that our kids asked if we could return the next day (unfortunately, we couldn't). Jason, Keisy, and Marvin made sure that all of us were comfortable on our horses and helped us out when we needed (as none of have a lot of experience). We walked through the forest and then along some roads in the country side getting to see horses, cows, and other views of different volcanoes and Lake Arenal. I also appreciated that they made sure to get a family photo in (it's hard to get pics with six of us in them).

Magical experience, what a treasure to find this place! - We were staying 10 minutes away from here and stumbled upon this place online since we did not want to drive all the way back to La Fortuna again. We were pleasantly surprised to find beautiful grounds with horseback riding and zipling. We were taken on a private tour, they were helpful and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the ride. We had a great time!

Great Horse back Ride - Had a wonderful time. Horses were well trained and followed instructions. The scenery was beautiful with views of Lake Arenal. Brett and Jason were great guides sharing local knowledge. First time I ever fed a horse a banana and he loved it skin and all. Will surely do it again on a future visit.

Great morning ride! - For my birthday, I received a surprise horseback riding outing at Paraiso. Its been about 16 years since I have ridden and I was a little bit nervous about what to expect. I need not have been. My horse Mariposa was well trained, gentle and sure footed and responded to commands with little effort and she was ready to run when asked but not before. Brett and his assistant Jason took us on a beautiful 2 hour ride through his gorgeous property and then on the roads along the ridge line overlooking Lago Arenal and the adjacent valleys, At one stop you can see Lago Nicaragua in the distance, Along the way we learned more about the area and talked with a few people who lived and farmed along the way. I would totally do it again and I will on our next visit. It has been a highlight of our trip.

AMAZING TIME and we were walk-ins - My 14yr old son and I stopped in on a whim and it was such a great decision!!! Brandon was an amazing guide who took us on such a fun ride throughout the countryside. Great pics, great conversation, and they were so good with my son. He loved it… and that’s from a “never impressed” teenage boy. After we finished the ride, they chopped and squeezed fresh sugar cane for us, letting my boy help out. Amazing time. HIGHLY recommend to any and all!
