Horseback Riding to Las Chorreras Waterfall

In the heart of Costa Rica's Provincia de Guanacaste, just outside Liberia, Hacienda Guachipelin offers a horseback riding journey that blends adventure with natural tranquility. This 1.5-hour outing delivers a balance of gentle equestrian travel and the lush forest environment that frames the renowned Las Chorreras Waterfall. Located at 208-50101 Guanacaste Curubande, the ride winds through verdant trails shadowed by native tropical trees, leading to a stunning double waterfall cascading into a vivid mineral-rich pool.

These waters, tinted blue by volcanic minerals, invite riders to cool off in a setting framed by a narrow volcanic rock canyon—creating an intimate tropical retreat rarely found in busy tourist corridors. Guided by seasoned ranch cowboys, the 30-minute ride each way follows mostly shaded forest paths that minimize road exposure, allowing guests to soak in the quietude and observe local flora and fauna in a nearly undisturbed environment. The falls themselves provide a refreshing reward, their steady flow and fresh pools a natural counterpoint to the warm Costa Rican climate.

For families or individuals seeking a low-impact ride accessible from Liberia, this trip offers a unique contrast to the region’s renowned volcanoes and beaches. Hacienda Guachipelin stands out for integrating traditional ranch expertise with eco-conscious practices, enhancing visitor experience while preserving this fragile locale near Rincon de la Vieja National Park. The combination of skilled horsemanship, scenic routes, and a cool swim spot makes this an inviting adventure that connects travelers to Guanacaste’s diverse ecosystems and ranching heritage in a relaxed, authentic way.
