Begin your adventure with a peaceful boat ride through the Tortuguero Canals, often called the “Amazon of Costa Rica” for their rich biodiversity. Glide along the calm waters surrounded by lush vegetation, and let your guide help you spot wildlife such as sloths, howler monkeys, iguanas, caimans, and a wide variety of tropical birds.
Next, feel the thrill of the wind in your face as you zipline through the rainforest. Soar across 11 cables and 9 platforms, with the longest cable stretching 270 meters. Experience heights up to 80 meters and take in some of the most spectacular views.
Afterward, explore a local souvenir shop with authentic Costa Rican crafts and enjoy a complimentary tasting of freshly brewed coffee and flavored cacao. When available, take a short 15-minute walk through the adjacent garden to see tropical plants such as pineapple, cacao, cinnamon, ylang ylang, and noni. Watch a live demonstration of how a banana plantation processing system works, offering an engaging look at one of Costa Rica’s most important exports.
Finally, unwind at Playa Bonita, a relaxed and scenic spot by the ocean. Sip on a tropical smoothie, a cold beer, or a Caribbean cocktail as you soak in the view. Feeling hungry? Try the famous rice and beans cooked in coconut milk, or patacones, the crispy green plantain chips beloved across Costa Rica.
