Today you will make a boat tour on the Peñas Blancas River where you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest and experience its peacefulness as you quietly paddle down the stream. Monkeys, sloths, iguanas, crocodiles and numerous tropical birds await you!

The rest of the day is free for optional activities. Our suggestion:: a visit to La Fortuna Waterfall (optional, not included). This beautiful waterfall is set in the rainforest near the edge of Arenal Volcano National Park. You will hike down the canyon and be rewarded with a natural pool under the falls, perfect for a dip on a hot day.

Today you will continue to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Drive over Ciudad Quesada and Aguas Zarcas to enjoy the rural areas of Costa Rica, small picturesque towns and incredible landscapes.

Continue to La Selva Biological Station, which has been declared to be one of the four most interesting and suitable places around the world for investigations of the tropical forest.

Drive from Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí to the Caribbean Coast.

We recommend a stop at the Rain Forest Aerial Tram (optional, not included ): The tram provides tourists with a unique “bird’s eye view” of one of the most spectacular tropical rainforest canopies in the world.

Continue to Limón and your beach hotel.

Visit today the Cahuita National Park. The Creole beach paradise of Cahuita has a nearby national park with attractive beaches, coral reef and coastal rain forest.
