Description

We know this tour comes at a high cost, but there is no better way to experienced a nature tour guided by passionate and expert biologists! This tour with Oropopo experience will be premium. We offer exceptional service to ensure that this journey is not only educational but truly unforgettable and an incredible opportunity to learn from young, passionate naturalists who will make every moment in nature come alive. We are committed to making this the best day you’ve ever had! We will start your journey by picking you up from your hotel in our 4x4 private car, and going on a scenic 1.5-hour drive along Route 27, making your way to your first stop at Carara National Park. Head straight out onto some flat walking trails suitable for all fitness levels and wheelchair users, where our expert biologist will lead the way, helping you spot and identify the biodiversity around you. As you admire Carara National Park abundant flora and fauna, look up to the 40-meter high canopy where you might spot bright scarlet macaws, curious agouti rodents, stunning poison dart frogs, playful spider monkeys, and dozens of bird species. Our biologist’s deep knowledge and keen eye will make sure you truly connect with nature. Keep your camera ready to capture the fascinating fungi and huge wild cashew trees along the way! Next, we will visit Tarcoles river where we can admire the mangrove forest, which are some of the most unique and scarce ecosystems of the world, and considered to be biodiversity hotspots. Keep a lookout for the 6-meter-long American crocodiles — the largest of the continent. Finally, enjoy lunch like a local and eat at a traditional soda diner, where you have the option of eating fresh fish or seafood. Re-energized, lower your gears and enjoy the drive back to your hotel.
