Rancho Los Innocentes.(“The Innocents”) This ranch is quite old, and originally covered more than 15,000 acres. Today it is reduced to a “mere” 3000 acres, and has transformed from ranching to eco-tourism, taking advantage of the corridors of land that have remained undeveloped over the years. This ranch sits at the foot of “Volcán Orosi,” a stunning dormant volcano that has provided the soil which makes the area so fertile, and which dominates the landscape throughout the ranch.
Guanacaste Province is horse country, and at Los Inocentes we take great pride in the training and care of our horses. A guided ride on a well-trained horse is the best way to discover the beauty of the land and to experience the variety of our flora and fauna.
You will see a wide diversity of tree, birds, and animals, frequently including sightings of many parrot species, toucans, sloth’s, and three of the four species of monkeys native to Costa Rica: spiders monkeys, howler monkeys, and white-face capuchin monkeys.
The horseback tour is one of the best ways to get an introduction to the natural diversity of northwestern Guanacaste and Lodge Los Inocentes. We offer two-hour guided horseback rides for riders of all levels. These rides pass through forest trails and open expanses providing panoramic views, and it is virtually guaranteed that riders will see abundant wildlife while enjoying a great trail riding experience. For first-timers or for those with limited experience, we have steady, gentle well-trained horses ideally suited to beginners. We also match intermediate and experienced riders to horses that will be responsive to their riding abilities, and we can custom-tailor rides to the desires of individuals and groups. You will enjoy your wild west style experience at Los Inocentes Ranch.
