Cowboys and Horses



In celebration of Garabito, the county in which Jaco Beach is located, a Tope, or horse parade was performed Saturday, with some of the most beautiful horses and people from many local ranches (fincas) taking part. A great family event, the Tope is scheduled to celebrate just about anything in Costa Rica, as the love of horses runs deep in the Tico Soul. A tradition of providing free beer to the riding participants is somewhat surprising to Gringos, however no one fell off of their horse or even swayed in the least little bit. This may be attributable to the fact that locally made beer is much like water. Read more and look at the photo gallery in jacosun.com.
