Set off from the pier for a short drive to one of Costa Rica’s most famous national parks: Golfo Dulce. This park is a pristine haven of biodiversity, where lush rainforests meet the sparkling waters of the gulf. Today you’ll take a guided nature walk, watching for numerous species of butterflies, monkeys, reptiles, orchids and much more.
After approximately one hour on the trail, stop to enjoy some fresh fruit and a refreshment.
Refueled, set off for another approximately 1-hour nature walk, giving you plenty of opportunities to see the amazing sights of this refuge. There are 11 species of Heliconias, 31 species of orchids, and more than 12 species of ferns. Four species of monkeys also live here, along with 300 species of birds, 139 mammal species and more than 200 species of amphibians and reptiles. You’ll have the opportunity to have intimate encounters with wildlife and to take stunning photographs.
Following your walk, reboard the coach for a panoramic sightseeing drive back to the to the pier. See an old locomotive from the bygone era of banana exportation as well as the world-famous Finca 6 stone spheres.
