Baru River Falls Baru River Falls Horseback Adventure Tour: |
|
|
|
Travel on horseback along original Indian and pioneer trails to Baru River Falls. Baru River Falls is considered to be the most beautiful waterfall in Central America. On this adventure, you travel up to the top of the Escaleras mountain range, enjoying the spectacular views along the Pacific Coast. The adventure continues down into the lush river valley of the Baru River Falls. After giving the horses a well deserved rest, we cross the Baru River on an aerial tram car, followed by a short but breathtaking walk through the flora and fauna along the Rio Baru. The spectacular falls are formed by two exquisite cascades that tower almost 300 feet above the sparkling 25 foot deep pool with 3000 square feet of surface area. Once at the falls most riders choose to take a dip in the crystal clear water. Then the adventure is repeated in reverse, and the riders once again ride with rapt fascination as the wildlife of Costa Rica displays itself : Riders often see many of the hundreds of species of birds including Toucans. It is not unusual to see different species of monkeys as well as other jungle creatures. Upon your return, a delicious lunch is provided on Bella Vista Lodge's veranda with breathtaking views of the Pacific Coast. Tour Includes: Lunch, Guide, Bottled Water, & Towel Cost: only $45.00 Per Person Approximate time 4 hours Tour Starts at 8:30am Reservations required in advance Things to Bring: Long Pants, Camera (with waterproof bag), Closed Toed Shoes, & Swimsuit |
