Paco's Horses
Located next to
Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano National Park, the privately operated Mistico Hanging Bridges Park offers a close-up look at the flora and fauna of the area’s biodiverse rainforest. In addition to the park’s 3.2-mile hiking trail, you can also explore the park on horseback: Paco’s Horses offers rides for both beginners and experts through rolling hills and canopied trails, where guests can such wildlife as a toucan a wild turkey, or a pizote (white-nosed coati), the long-nosed Costa Rican relative to a raccoon. The ride culminates at an outlook with views of the Arenal Volcano and the verdant rainforest surrounding it, where you might spot capuchin and howler monkeys up in the trees.
