Finca Madre Tierra

Lovely farm and great afternoon excursion. The horseback ride was gorgeous and it was so fun to meet all the animals and see how the farm is run. They gave us yummy snacks, coffee/hot chocolate, and we got to taste the cheese they make on site. Lots of attention to sustainability and it was very cool to see how the farm and Hotel Belmar support each other's business and efforts. Highly recommend!

This was the most authentic and magical experience. We booked the horseback riding tour on tripadvisor but the listing doesn't even compare to what you see. After our hotel pickup, we arrived on a seemingly private ranch deep into the mountains. As soon as we got out of the truck, animals from all over came to greet us as if we came home. There were horses, goats, hogs, chickens, and 7 farm dogs. I didn't know goats and hogs loved cuddles so much. If we stopped petting the goat, he would follow us and nudge his head or give us a light kick to get more pets. Some of the dogs even joined us on our horseback tour and herded cows along the way. The scenery was so unexpected and absolutely beautiful. They take us in the forest through the streams and up the mountains where you see (wild?) goats and cattle roaming the valleys in the sunset. One of the farm dogs seemed to struggle to keep up with his younger friends but still looked like he was having the time of his life. As we got back to the ranch, they had us go up in the barn for some homemade snack and freshly brewed coffee. All of which was a pleasant surprise that they should include in the listing! Just as they started brewing the coffee and we ate our snack, there was a rainstorm. It was absolutely the cliche scene of being caught in a barn during a storm. It truly felt like a disney movie and will be an experience we will never forget.

We had a wonderful time here. It was the best horseback-riding experience we've ever had, and the farm tour was excellent and very hands-on as well. This was our 9-year-old's first time on a horse. Diego, our guide, walked us through everything and made her very comfortable. And the horses were very friendly. The scenery is truly incredible and a side of Costa Rica we'd never seen.

Amazing experience! An example in sustainable farming. My 3 year old loved interacting with all the farm animals and being a farm hand for the day. Got to milk a cow, bottle feed lambs and goats, feed chickens, press his own sugar cane juice and then learn to ride a horse! It was the highlight of our time in Monteverde. Diego our guide was amazing and informative, went over and above to make sure we had a good time and really bonded with my son and he helped on the farm. Would highly recommend!

So much information about how they are a sustainable farm and give back to their hotel, Hotel Belmar, both own by the same person. Tried fresh Milk, Fresh Cheese, Fresh Sugar Cane Juice, Fresh Coffee... so much more!!! Wonderful experience and everyone was so nice! Will, our tour guide, was wonderful at explaining everything! Definitely going to come back!

Wonderful visit to the first certified Carbon Neutral farm in Costa Rica! We milked a cow, gave the calves their bottles, ground coffee, then drank it, pressed sugar cane, then drank it, saw cheese being made and sampled it, met the chickens, then samples their eggs - even road horses all over the farm, all while learning about bananas, coffees, leaf cutter ants, which trees are best to reduce green house gases and more! You should definitely visit if near Monteverde!

Beautiful & magical place. My family and I had an amazing experience.

This sustainable farm Will make you wanna live there.

A must go place, the experience is amazing, wonderful staff, 100% recommended

😍😍😍

Un lugar diferente para pasar un buen rato, muy tranquilo y relajante. El personal fue muy servicial y amigable. Es una experiencia muy tica, con muchos animales silvestres y de granja, métodos de producción artesanales y sostenibles y paisajes hermosos.

La mejor experiencia en cabalgata y tour. Con las mejores vistas de Monteverde y una hospitalidad 6 starts

Pienso que es un muy especial por su ubicación por sus animales por lo que ahí se produce

Bella experiencia , Rústica y campestre para desconectarse de la ciudad.

Un lugar para disfrutar en familia.!!
