A horseback ride can be more than an excursion fitted between two hotel stops. At Buena Vista del Rincón, accommodation and horseback experiences are part of the same destination in Guanacaste, on the slopes of Rincón de la Vieja.
The ride can be a highlight without becoming your entire holiday. There is also the pleasure of returning to your room, sharing a meal and letting the evening remain part of the visit.
How much riding would you like to include?
Start by deciding whether you want one horseback outing or hope to arrange several during your stay. Check the activity options and availability before filling the rest of your itinerary.
For a single outing, consider placing the ride on a day when you are not changing hotels. That leaves arrival time for settling in and avoids building the experience around an onward journey immediately afterward.
For several outings, discuss the options and dates with our team before deciding how many nights to book. Explain whether riding is the main purpose of the trip or one interest among others, and review what can be confirmed for each date.
Think about the time between activities too. An afternoon without another reservation can be a deliberate part of the holiday, rather than a gap that needs filling.
Choose accommodation with a rural setting
Hacienda Rooms connect your stay with Buena Vista del Rincón's farm surroundings. They have two double beds and a wide porch with views of the stables and corrals, near the main pool area.
For someone drawn to horses and rural Guanacaste, that setting is worth considering alongside the ride. You can enjoy the atmosphere from the porch without needing to add another activity to the day.
Look at the room photographs and sleeping arrangements as well. Two double beds describe the configuration; whether it works for you depends on who is sharing the room and how you prefer to sleep. A couple and friends traveling together may make different choices.
Hacienda is one option, not a requirement for a riding-focused stay. Our accommodation section lets you compare the available categories and check rates for your dates. Choose the room for the hours you will spend there, not only for the activity that brought you to the destination.
Share the holiday without sharing every activity
A riding-focused trip can still work for adults with different interests. Agree on which experiences you want to share and which parts of the day each person would prefer to spend differently.
At Buena Vista del Rincón, the main pool offers another setting for time outdoors, while Jaguar Café provides a place to enjoy coffee. A non-riding companion can consider those options rather than simply waiting for the outing to finish.
You might arrange to meet for a meal once the ride is over. Use the confirmed activity schedule to choose that meeting time, and check the arrangements for anyone booking a different experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is horseback riding automatically included with my room?
No. It is not a standard room inclusion. Arrange riding separately unless it is expressly included in the accommodation package you book.
2. Who accompanies the horseback outings?
Our Horseback Riding Tour is accompanied by local guides who know the routes and terrain. Staying at the hotel does not turn that guided experience into an independent ride.
3. Is there an adventure add-on for hotel guests?
Yes. Jaguar Adventure combines horseback riding with other adventure activities for guests who already hold a Buena Vista del Rincón accommodation reservation. It is an optional addition and does not include lodging.
