Dare I say the highlight of my Costa Rican trip! A couple hours of riding, a run in with a pack of coyotes, and a few galloping contests (I lost every time) to drink in these views that you always have to travel far and wide to see. . . . . . . . . #bucketlist #travelgram #lovetotravel #traveldairy #simplyadventure #exploretheworld #dametraveler  #flashesofdelight #openmyworld #wheretofindme #mytinyatlas #beautifuldestinations #getaway #wanderlust #worldtravel #travelstoke #earthfocus #traveltherenext #worldnomads #thetraveltag #travelzoo #sharetravelpics #itravelbecause #traveladdicts #adventure #costarica #viewsfromthetop #centralamerica #monteverde #horsebackriding
