Meet local people, swim in refreshing rivers, relax by lovely waterfalls, take in awesome views, ride through cool tropical forests and more.
Join us on our multi-day horseback riding treks to the beach where you travel through a variety of ecosystems as you make your way, day by day, to the beach where you can swim with your horse in the sea.
Learn the gentle and effective techniques of horse training by attending one of our Parelli Natural Horsemanship Workshops that are offered through out the year.
“Barking Horse Farm and Establo San Rafael have Parelli trained horses, with exceptional reliability and sure-footedness for trails.” 5* Parelli professional David Lichman
Our farm is conveniently located only one hour from the airports and San Jose yet in the rural, mountainous countryside. Our vacations combine horseback riding, farm life, nature exploration, cultural activities and time for play and relaxation. Children love our farm animals and everyone loves swimming in the pristine rivers and waterfalls nearby.
Visit our guest book or trip advisor to hear what guests say about our vacations. We hope to see you here!
