Ride a well-trained horse through Arikok National Park to Conchi Natural Pool with guides such as Patrick or Jackson. Rancho Loco matches horses to your riding ability, teaches beginners, provides transport and park fees, and allows about 30 minutes at the pool.

“Very fun and great experience. The horses are majestic and the tour guides were very nice, thoughtful and funny. The weather when we went was sunny with little clouds so I recommend bringing a towel to sit on the saddle, a hat to cover your head, water for refreshment, and lots of sunscreen. We didn’t spend much time at the natural pool, most of the tour was riding the horse. Still, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend.”
