Why You Should Consider This Activity:
- ✅ Cultural component: Experience the rich traditions of Guanacaste’s iconic “pampa”—the vast plains known for their deep-rooted cattle ranching culture. As you drive through this authentic hacienda ganadera (cattle ranch), you may be fortunate enough to see sabaneros (cowboys) herding cattle or water buffaloes by the streams, set against the backdrop of the tropical dry forest with its distinctive flora, including the majestic Guanacaste tree. Throughout the shuttle ride, during the welcome briefing, or on the optional horseback riding tour, your guides will provide insights into the property’s past, present, and future. Additionally, artisans from the Guaitil community occasionally visit the hacienda to offer a bonus pottery-making demonstration, showcasing ancestral Chorotega techniques.
- ✅ Wildlife and scenery: As you ride along dirt roads through the property’s hills, enjoy the stunning landscape and watch for local wildlife such as iguanas and a variety of bird species. From the hilltop, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the pampa, the Cañas River, and even the windmills near Santa Cruz—perfect for a memorable photo.
- ✅ Family-owned hospitality: This property has been owned by a local Costa Rican family for four generations. You may meet Cristobalina or her sons, who personally help run the operations and ensure you feel welcomed and have an unforgettable time.
- ✅ Unique ziplining experience: Unlike typical treetop ziplines, this course offers a series of 9 cables stretching from hilltop to hilltop. Soar through the open air, taking in incredible views as you glide from one platform to the next with ease.
- ✅ Certified safety and fun: Accompanied by expert certified guides, you’ll receive clear safety instructions and support throughout the experience, ensuring a safe and exciting adventure for the whole family.
