COSTA RICA
FINCA SOLEY
We created Finca Soley in 2014 to offer a place for people, horses, animals and nature to grow and thrive.
A freely living herd, Natural Horsemanship, and the art of classical riding are the center of Finca Soley. We are excited to invite you to stay in one of our self-build houses. We love to be sustainable and keep our surroundings organic. Make and grow instead of buy is what we live. In addition to the numerous farm animals and wildlife, we implemented a social project to support the locals and a Spanish school. We maintain a 5-hectare primary rainforest with a tiny waterfall for hikers to discover on our homestead.
