Step back in time and discover one of Costa Rica's most cherished rural traditions with our Ox Cart Ride Experience. This authentic activity offers visitors the opportunity to travel through the countryside aboard a traditional wooden ox cart, pulled by trained oxen and guided by local caretakers who have preserved this important cultural heritage for generations.

During the ride, guests will learn about the historical role of ox carts in the development of rural communities, where they were once the primary means of transporting coffee, corn, sugarcane, and other agricultural products. Along the route, the local guide will share stories about traditional farming practices, the relationship between farmers and their oxen, and the importance of this tradition in the identity of Nicoya and Costa Rica.

This peaceful journey allows visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside while experiencing the slower rhythm of rural life and connecting with the customs that continue to shape the region today.
