Day 1 - Upon arrival at the Liberia airport in the northwestern part of Costa Rica, the driver will take us to our lodge for the next few days. The property is a large, secluded retreat surrounded by dense Dry Forest. Here we enjoy a natural hot spring river that crosses through the property and offers wonderful hideaways to relax. Dinner will be on your own to allow maximum flexibility for flight arrivals.
Day 2 - Today we will enjoy an exhilarating adventure; white water rafting (level II-III)! Afterward, we will enjoy lunch together. Then we will make our way to one of the rarest ecosystems in the Americas, which surrounds Rio Perdido. It consists of a lush jungle-like forest within the canyons, in contrast to a rare dwarf forest on the higher rocky grounds. We will head out on foot for an amazing sunset hike.
Day 3 - Because of the thickness of the vast forest surrounding Rio Perdido, it offers one the best areas for zip lining, Tarzan swinging and rappelling. Feel the adrenaline rush as we combine each of these activities into one on your own jungle adventure. Afterward, we'll have lunch and swap stories.
In the afternoon, we will journey to visit the exquisite Llanos del Cortez waterfalls.
Tonight, we will dine by the river surrounded by the sounds of the water and the forest.
Day 4 - After breakfast, we will make our way out to Palo Verde National Park. Enjoy a captivating journey amidst hidden trails and enticing rivers. We will take a canopy-covered boat out with our captain and search for some tropical species, rose spoon-billed or mythical Jabiru stork.
Day 5 - What better way to enjoy the sea than by heading out on a catamaran? We’ll enjoy snorkeling and even take a banana boat adventure ride (insert obvious banana joke here). Today’s tour features lunch and a leisurely afternoon. Once we return to El Mangroove we’ll have the rest of the day to ourselves.
Day 6 - Enjoy a day of hiking with volcanic activity up close. Take in the views of the boiling mud pots, sulfur springs, steam vents, and fumaroles. There are abundant plants and wildlife in this tropical forest as well. Get a close view of an ancient forest, huge trees that protect spider monkeys, leaf-cutter ants, and more.
