Ride by comfortable air-conditioned coach past a variety of landscapes, including mango and watermelon farms, lush forests and mountain views. You're headed toward the highlands of Alajuela Province, where the San Miguel Hacienda is located.
Rancho San Miguel is a school of high equestrian arts and has been exhibiting horse fiestas for more than 30 years. It is famous throughout the Americas for its pure breed of Andalusian horses. At the ranch, a local expert will greet you and share vast knowledge in this field -- your portal to the equine world of mares and stallions.
The horse show you'll watch combines dressage training of the magnificent Andalusian horses with the masterful ability of the riders -- a group of young, talented Amazonian women whose skills require months of grueling teamwork, training and discipline. It is quite enthralling and is complemented by Spanish Flamenco music in a spectacular amphitheatre environment.
Afterward, enjoy a delicious lunch; then, continue to El Jardín for tropical fruit and a cup of deliciously fresh coffee. Some souvenir-based retail therapy awaits you here.
