What you will visit:
Rainforest Adventures Eco-Park/Aerial Tram
Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica, a top adventure destination, offers exhilarating aerial views of the expansive conservation park. Upon arrival at this 222-acre private reserve, climb aboard an open-air, nine-seat gondola suspended from reinforced steel cables that transports passengers effortlessly through the dense, sun-dappled forest canopy for a unique perspective on birds and plants not usually seen from the ground. Take in the incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and the tropical forest right from your seat.

Tarcoles River Cruise
Tarcoles River on the Central Pacific Coast of Costa Rica teems with scarlet macaws, Jesus Christ lizards (they can run across water!), and over 120 species of birds. The river is most famous for its crocodiles, some of which are so huge they have names like "Saddam Hussein" and "Mike Tyson." Your pontoon boat will glide through the river's placid water past lush jungle and mangroves. A naturalist guide will point out the animals, birds, plant species and crocodiles that you may encounter.


What you will see along the way:
Marvel at the variation in plant life and scan the trees, alive with hummingbirds, parrots and toucans, on your rainforest canopy tour. Continue on for a boat cruise through the jungles of the Tarcoles River. This estuary shelters mangroves filled with exotic birds, and the shoreline is home to some of the largest crocodile colonies in the region.

Lunch:
Your excursion includes a traditional lunch served in a picturesque, rainforest setting.

Shopping:
Time is allotted for you to explore a variety of local and handmade arts, crafts and Costa Rican souvenirs at the gift shop.
