A small, peaceful ride in the forest








We can't say for sure now if Kaisa will ever dare ride outside a flat fenced area again, or if Christoffer will ever be convinced to even get on a horse again, but what we do know is that we went on a breathtakingly beautiful ride on steep rainforest paths, saw the kind of a waterfall that should be included in all the guidebooks, and deeply admired the skills of our guide as well as the strong, sure-footed horses. And Lina was happily trotting down the hill, having the time of her life!

But Leka's favorite part came when we were safely back at the hostel and had gotten off the horses. ”Look, he's getting away!” he said to the guide when one of the horses started heading out to the road. ”It doens't matter. We live just a few houses away and he knows his way back home.” This is life in the Costa Rican countryside: you'll want to drive carefully, because you never know if a horse might come and meet you on the road, with a saddle and everything, but no rider.
