Embark on an incredible day-long adventure that begins with a comfortable air-conditioned journey through the picturesque Costa Rican countryside. Your destination is the renowned Rainforest Adventures Aerial Tram.
Step aboard an open-air gondola designed for eight lucky visitors and experience a serene glide through the lush canopy of the forest. As you ascend, you'll be treated to aerial views encompassing verdant plant life, suspended gardens, and enchanting waterfalls across the sprawling 222-acre conservation park. Keep a watchful eye out for wildlife sightings and take in sweeping glimpses of the Pacific Ocean from your vantage point.
Next, enjoy a Costa Rican-style lunch, typically featuring favorites such as pasta salad, rice, beans, steamed vegetables, a choice of beef or chicken, and refreshing natural juices.
An open riverboat serves as the ideal platform for navigating the Tarcoles River and the Guacalillo Estuary. The estuary is celebrated for its thriving mangrove forests and is a natural habitat for diverse avian species, including cuckoos, hummingbirds, Panama flycatchers, herons, egrets, and the elusive scarlet macaw. Within this vibrant ecosystem, you'll also encounter an array of water birds, such as ospreys, cormorants, and pelicans. Perhaps the biggest thrill is encountering Central America's largest crocodile colony on the banks of the river.
Upon returning to the landing area, relish a snack of fresh fruits and soft beverages.
