What you can expect

  • TOUR ITINERARY:

    Hotel Pick up

    • You will be picked up from your hotel journey one hour through the back roads of Guanacaste’s Sabanero (Cowboy Country) Province to Palo Verde National Park.

    Palo Verde Boat Safari

    • After a scenic guided drive, you will then hop into your boat and spend one hour and twenty minutes on the Tempisque River that borders the Palo Verde National Park. This river is best known for its murky water and spectacular wetlands. Your naturalist guide will help to spot wildlife in the dry tropical forest and mangroves. There are over 600 different species of birds, both local and migratory. Appropriately, this tour is a real treat for bird watchers, as you’ll have the chance of spotting storks, egrets, spoonbills, grebes and more. Also be on the lookout for monkeys, iguanas, scarlet macaws, anteaters, crocodiles and caimans, which can often be seen lingering along the banks of the river.

    Costa Rica Style Lunch

    • After your boat safari, you will be taken to eat a plentiful typical Costa Rican style meal called a Casado. This usually consists of rice, beans, salad, plantains, choice of meat, and more. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated.
    • Following the safari, indulge in a hearty Costa Rican lunch to recharge, before diving into a fascinating presentation on Chorotega pottery, learning about its intricate designs and cultural significance.

    It's a day filled with adventure, culture, and delicious cuisine, offering a memorable glimpse into the wonders of Costa Rica.
