This eco-adventure is ideal for those who prize nature in its most pristine state, uninhibited by anything but its own biodiversity.
Enjoy a leisurely panoramic drive along scenic coastal and country roads, past quaint towns and villages. You're headed to the Jungle Crocodile Safari dock on the Tarcoles River, famous for its mangrove forest and home to one of the largest populations of American crocodiles. More than 50 bird species live here, including the endangered scarlet macaw, and are also protected in the neighboring estuary.
Board a riverboat; then, sit back as your expert guide leads you on a fantastic journey to see the astonishing variety of wildlife.
Your tour concludes at El Jardín, where you'll explore a butterfly garden and enjoy a refreshing tasting experience featuring tropical fruits, natural drinks, and Costa Rican coffee. There's also time to shop for locally made souvenirs before heading back to the pier with lasting impressions of Costa Rica's rural heritage. This is ideal for nature lovers looking for a relaxed and enriching experience.
Notes:
Wildlife sightings are likely but are not guaranteed. Boats are covered and with open-air seating, offering shade and unobstructed views. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable/reef-safe sunscreen. Bring bottled water.
