Orosí horse back riding gem - The best way to learn and appreciate the more traditional Costa Rica. We had the 7am tour, which included "pico de gallo" breakfast, cooked to perfection, with milk and butter from the farm. Then the horseback ride to the most breath taking views of Irazú volcano and glimpses of Turrialba. Highly recommend!

The best experience!! - This was by far one of my favorite things that I did on my trip to Costa Rica!! When we showed up they greeted me and my friends with home made banana bread and after we got done with our amazing horse ride through the mountains, there was fresh made fruit juice and a small fire waiting for us! They even supplies one of my friends with a jacket since it was a little chilly! I recommend the Queveri horseback riding tours to anyone who wants to have a relaxing trip through the mountains surrounded by gracious people!!

A FANTASTIC horseback ride in the mountains!!! - I just spent the afternoon at Queveri farm with my 86 year old mother! We rode the wonderful horses to the viewpoint. It was FANTASTIC!!! We absolutely loved this place, and my only regret is that I didn’t know how nice it was and that you can actually stay there in the gorgeous heritage farm lodge. The banana bread and fruit smoothies and kind company of the owners were “icing on the cake”. The horses themselves were mellow, easy to ride, and the lush “wraparound” vistas from the viewpoints were spectacular. We didn’t even care that it was lightly raining at first—the misty clouds made it even more beautiful. If you want a unique experience in a stunning place (and love the idea of horseback riding!) I really recommend this. Thank you to all of you at Queverí Farm :) !!!

A highlight of our trip - Such a highlight of our trip. The owners were so kind and accommodating, the warmest hosts we had in Costa Rica. We took our three children (our youngest is 4) and they all got to ride the gentle and obedient horses. The views are stunning, the hosts accommodating, it was safe and beautiful. Couldn’t ask for more. Heads up - The road up to the farm is its own adventure! We were thankful for our four wheel drive. It’s right by the hot springs too, so afterward we soaked in the waters. A magical day.
