Itinerary
If you want to discover Costa Rica at its best, this is a combination full of adventure and nature in the Costa Rican rainforest. You will get to experience the rainforest from a bird eye’s view and also go deep in the dirt paths, farms and rivers in a transitional Central Pacific forest.
You will first start with the 2 hour zip line at the canopy of the rainforest. This adventure includes a 15 minute tractor ride up to the top of the mountain; you will then descend on a series of 12 platforms and 10 cables, including one of the longest in Costa Rica’s Central Pacific.
After the Zip Line it’s time to get on some horses! We have the best kept horses in the area- and once you get geared up and paired with your new equine-friend, it’s time to head for the mountains. You will ride for about 45 minutes to the top of the mountain, and then hike down to the waterfalls and natural swimming pools. Your guide will have cold water for you. You will have about 30 minutes to enjoy swimming in a totally natural environment, before we return to base, where we will greet you with fresh tropical fruits.

We had such a great time as a family doing the horseback tour (1.5 hours) and then zip lining at Jacamar near Arenal in Costa Rica. The guides were wonderful — very informative about the local history and we felt incredibly comfortable with our 6 year old and 8 year old on horses (by themselves) and on zip lines for the first time. The horseback riding was slow-paced but frankly exhilarating. We went into a gorgeous valley and got pictures on our horses by a bright green lake at the foot of Arenal — the high pH from volcanic minerals leads to these beautiful algae blooms. We then zip lined on 8 different lines — the longest was 600 feet and had breathtaking views of the valley below. The guides were so adept and hilarious. They joked with the kids and help allay some of my jitters on the platforms too. The Tarzan swing was a highlight too — jumping off a 40 foot platform and swinging into the jungle. Just plain awesome fun. I’d highly recommend Jacamar and their friendly staff. If you get Tony as your guide he’s a particularly funny host and you’re in for a great time.Safiya_B

My family and I found this tour on this app. The overall staff here was very professional. The horseback and zip line staff provided clear directions and made us feel extremely safe! The fruit was fresh and it was an overall great time!

This was my first time zip lining. The staff (Ronald and Marvin) were so professional. I felt very safe and prepared for the experience. All I can say is WOW! Despite the pouring rain, the zip line and horse backing riding were awesome! Staff were fun, informative and helpful. Would recommend to ...
