What You Can Expect
After morning pickup at your hotel in La Fortuna or surrounding areas, travel by air-conditioned minivan to the launch point on the Fr?o River. Climb aboard a sturdy, inflatable raft and set off on the gentle currents. Your river guide handles all the paddling so you can relax and enjoy the lush tropical scenery, keeping your hands free to take photos.
Cruising with a quiet, motorless boat allows you to enjoy the sounds of the jungle and minimizes disturbance to wildlife. Keep an eye out for caimans and turtles lounging on the riverbanks, tree-dwellers like sloths and monkeys, colorful birds, and iguanas. Learn about native flora and fauna through your guide?s commentary.
Back on dry land, head to a local family’s farm to recharge with homemade Costa Rican snacks. You can practice your Spanish and pick up some new phrases through friendly conversation with your hosts before the return trip to your La Fortuna?area hotel, where the 5-hour tour concludes in the early afternoon.
