Went on a trail ride down to the beach and back to the ranch. What an amazing time we had. First time riding horses for all of us including our little ones. The staff and Blue made us all feel right at home and felt really safe at all times. The views were so beautiful! Loved everything about our time there from dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls, to seeing monkeys on our trail ride, to our conversations with the staff! And the professional photos that were taken came out so good. Highly recommend! Our guides were so patient with our little ones and very helpful! A must do if you’re ever down in San Juan de Sur! Thankful for the memories we get to keep for our whole family!

Volcan Concepcion

Reviewed By cbaldwin023 - New York City, United States

Great hike about 12 miles in total (19km). Started @7am and finished around 3pm with my guide Danilo Flores. I greatly enjoyed doing the hike with him as he offered much guidance and ensured we went the safest routes and made it to the crater of the volcano unlike other guides who would cheat their clients out of making it to the crater. On the hike you start out going through farmland and then progress into basically the jungle where you encounter howler and capuchin monkeys. Next up is a very loose rocky terrain that requires good footwear. To reach the summit of Concepción with a peak elevation of 5280ft (1600m) requires some great focus and maneuvering that Danilo assist with. When we reached the crater we were hit with very strong winds and low visibility but was well worth it. Going down was tricky, due to the loose rocks, but was was fun sliding down and planning each step looking for the most stable rock to land on. We stoped for lunch on the way down and had a great view of the Ometepe and the Lake. This hike was well worth it and I’d love to do it again. Danilo’s contact info is +50583647211 through WhatsApp and he is completely fluent in English and also offers scooter rentals for a great price to travel around the island on your own
