De bördiga markerna i Palo Verde nationalpark, som får sin näring från floden Tempisque, är en fristad för en häpnadsväckande samling exotiska fåglar och andra vilda djur. Denna utflykt ger dig unik tillgång till reservatet, som är världsberömt för sin biologiska mångfald och naturliga skönhet. Jose, en av våra kunniga lokalguider, säger: ”Palo Verde är hem för cirka 280 olika fågelarter, men de vanligaste är vattenfåglar och skogsfåglar - det finns uppskattningsvis 50 000 av dem som bor där.

Äventyret inleds med en båttur nedför Tempisque. Och eftersom du är den enda båten ute på floden vid den här tiden på dygnet har du den helt för dig själv. Finns det något bättre sätt att komma nära vilda djur i deras naturliga miljö? Du kan njuta av fri utsikt över en mängd häckande fåglar - det finns ett stort antal hägerarter - vrålapor, leguaner och till och med krokodiler som solar sig på flodstränderna. Härifrån åker du till en gård i en av de närliggande byarna, där du kan se hur människor i denna del av Costa Rica lever. Du får lära dig om de grödor de odlar och deras traditionella jordbruksmetoder.

Under rundturen på gården berättar guiden om regionens historia och traditioner. Eftersom gården ligger på landsbygden finns det gott om vidsträckta vyer att fotografera. Du har gott om tid att fylla minnet på din mobil innan du börjar färden tillbaka till ditt boende.

Saw loads of crocodiles and it was amazing watching some of them so closely move into the water and swim by. The guides were great at spotting birds and monkeys etc. Had a first stop at a ranch which was lovely and were given fruit and coffee and then back there later for sugar cane demo. Great trip and would recommend.

Disappointed with the river tour as I expected a river tour that lasted longer not 1 hour. The majority of the day was spent looking at the big house, explaining about sugar cane and cowboys! Not worth the money and found it very misleading!

We were conned by our sales rep. We asked for a nature reserve and river boat trip that was no more than 4 hours. We were very clear this is what we wanted, we also made sure to say we wanted no audience participation on our trip as one of our group is disabled and would find it very upsetting. Our trip was over 6 hours, 1 hour of what we wanted, 1 and a half hours of cultural learning and audience participation, the rest was travel. The guide was fantastic and should not be blamed.

An excellent tour and although it’s a very early pick up at 6am, it was well worth it. It meant our boat was the only one on the river so were able to see much more wildlife including crocodiles, iguanas, basilisk lizard, monkeys and and an array of birds including herons, kingfishers and birds of prey. David the tour guide & the captain of the boat were both excellent at spotting the wildlife & got us very close to the action. We didn’t get to see the ‘trapiche’, but it’s still a great tour.

Early start but so worth it! We saw so much, best time of the day to go. We were the only boat on the river. Cultural experience was good, I got to have a go at making a tortilla and it was interesting to learn about the history of sugar cane production.

Best trip I've done. Friendly people. Small group (12). Lots of elements. Guide and driver very knowledgeable. Boat trip saw loads of wildlife and sabenaro very interactive and interesting. Lovely family.
