Here we will start our trip of approximately two hours in a inflatable raft (no motor) on the lower, slower moving section of the river. You will be able to hear the sounds of nature as our guide describes the flora and fauna of the region.

During this time it is also possible to see howler monkeys, crocodiles, and toucans, two species of sloth and different bird species.
Once we complete this first part of the tour, it is time to visit the farm of Don Pedro where he and his family will be waiting for us. You will be able to snake his hand, calloused from years hard work, and while you enjoying a snack you will be able to ask Don Pedro and his family questions which will invariably be answered with a smile.

After the visit with Don Pedro we will journey into the farms Primary tropical Rain Forest. There we will find trees over 100 years old and have the opportunity to see the “Blue Jean Frog” (Dendrobates pumilio). You will also learn of an interesting relationship/comparison between the frog and humans. Then we will be ready for the next adventure, the “Jail Tree” where we can see one of the smallest flying mammals in Costa Rica. Throughout this part of the tour on guide will explain the medicinal uses of many plants found in the rainforest. Finally we will get back into the raft and float the remaining 40 minutes to Boca Arenal while we enjoy the scenario.
Here the bus will pick us up and take us back to La Fortuna allowing you an opportunity to see the extensive agricultural system of San Carlos Country.

You can not miss!
