Don Gilberto
Let Don Gilberto
and his family show you the real Costa Rica – on horseback!
Once they pick you up the adventure in history and nature
begins, starting with the Quepos Indians and leads you through
the changes of Manuel Antonio today, which includes Iguana
Tours. Enjoy learning about Costa Rica’s exotic plants and rare
wildlife as you ride through the tropical jungle and private
ecological reserve at Tocori, just minutes away from Manuel
Antonio.
After a relaxing
hour-long ride on horseback through the tropical rain forest –
with the pace determined by your comfort level and riding
ability – leave your horses on the trail as Don Gilberto or his
daughter Dyala guide you through the exotic plant and animal
life on a nature walk. They will let you taste, smell, touch
and observe first hand the real Costa Rican jungle. After
indulging your mind and spirit with expert knowledge, take a
refreshing dip in pristine natural mountain waters while being
splashed on by two stunning waterfalls at Tocori. And don’t
forget to enjoy an unforgettable taste of local fresh fruits and
a homemade special tropical drink made exclusively by Doña Eli,
Don Gilberto´s wife, all while you relax and cool off next to
the waterfalls.
After being
refreshed, you are ready for a ride through meandering Tocori
streams to the private Rancho where Doña Eli will be your
hostess, as she shares with you a homemade Costa Rican “casado”
– a typical Costa Rican dish or terrific BBQ. Enjoy more of the
tastes and flavors of Costa Rica as you sample delicious
delicacies of the tropical rain forest and of our fresh, local
Costa Rican produce. As Don Gilberto says, “Come and taste the
flavors of our country.” Before returning to Manuel Antonio,
enjoy one last relaxing experience enjoying the bounty of Costa
Rica at the Rancho. Let Don Gilberto or Dayla show you their
private herb and plant garden as they help educate locals and
visitors alike on how to preserve the indigenous plant and herb
varieties of their beautiful country. While you are there, ask
how you can help preserve the tropical rain forest and educate
others about the true beauty and biodiversity of Costa Rica.
After Don
Gilberto and his family have hosted you at their Rancho, you
will have grown in your experience and knowledge of our
beautiful and unforgettable tropical country, Costa Rica. But
as Don Gilberto always says, “When you come back, you will have
a friend.”
