The Tortuguero Canals are known as Costa Rica's Amazon for their surrounding rainforest. Heavy annual rainfall creates an environment with extremely rich flora and fauna.
A 25-minute ride from the pier brings you to a dock in Moin. Board a jungle pontoon boat specially designed to cruise in comfort through the canals that form part of a river system running parallel to Costa Rica's Caribbean coastline.
Watch for orchids and water lilies, birds, monkeys, crocodiles, sloths, and toucans in this unique system of natural and man-made canals used for transportation and exploration. Wonderful views of lush jungle foliage, mirrored in the canals' waters, will delight you.
Wave to friendly Natives in dugout canoes and watch women scrubbing their laundry at the river's edge while children swim along the bank or dive from tall trees.
After this exciting boat tour, enjoy soft drinks and Costa Rican snacks .
Notes:
Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
