Ride along Punta Uva’s turquoise shore on a two‑hour guided beach and jungle horseback trip from Puerto Viejo. Expect calm coves, a short lookout hike, and well‑kept horses suited to riders of most abilities.
A slow trot carries you along a fringe of coconut palms while the Caribbean unfurls turquoise and white at your horse's knees. Salt air and a chorus of coastal birds set the pace; the surf dares you to linger while the jungle presses close behind. After a beach stretch, the trail threads into humid forest and rises briefly to a compact lookout above Punta Uva, where the coastline lays out in clean arcs.

A slow trot carries you along a fringe of coconut palms while the Caribbean unfurls turquoise and white at your horse's knees. Salt air and a chorus of coastal birds set the pace; the surf dares you to linger while the jungle presses close behind. After a beach stretch, the trail threads into humid forest and rises briefly to a compact lookout above Punta Uva, where the coastline lays out in clean arcs.
This corner of Costa Rica’s Limón province sits on ancient coastal terraces carved by wave action and rain. The area blends Afro–Caribbean fishing village culture with nearby Bribri communities; plantations and coastal trade shaped local settlements through the 19th and 20th centuries. Geologically, reefs and mangroves off Punta Uva protect sandbanks and create calm swimming coves.
Expect friendly, well-cared-for horses in Australian saddles, a guided route that mixes beach travel with a short jungle walk, and a five-minute hike to the lookout for sweeping coastal views. Wildlife—howler monkeys, toucans, and the occasional sloth—may watch from the canopy. Timing matters: morning light is cooler and calmer, while sunset rides deliver gold on the waves.
Practical guidance: wear long pants to avoid saddle chafe, closed-toe shoes for mounting, and reef-safe sunscreen. Bring a small bottle of water and secure phone/camera gear; trails can be sandy and damp. Travelers with back, heart, or pregnancy concerns should avoid this ride. Bookings are typically private and confirm instantly; cancel at least 24 hours ahead for a refund. The ride is an accessible, low-impact way to experience Puerto Viejo’s Caribbean shore with a local guide who knows tide windows and quiet coves.
No—this is designed for riders of most abilities; guides provide basic instructions and the horses are accustomed to beach rides.
Policies vary by operator—children and lighter riders are usually welcome, but disclose ages and weights when booking so the operator can assign appropriate horses.
Rides may be canceled or rescheduled in heavy rain or unsafe conditions; operators typically require 24‑hour cancellation notice for a full refund.
Australian saddles and bridles are provided; you should supply clothing, sunscreen, and personal items like water and a camera.
