Had a peaceful and relaxing 8AM tour with my wife. The river boat cruise was just great, saw several species of birds like Gray-necked Wood-Rail, several Boat-billed Herons, several Bare-throated Tiger-herons, Zone-tailed Hawk, some birds to mention. In addition White-faced monkeys, American Crocodiles and Iguans. And the lunch was just great, Thanks! Highly recommend this well organized tour!

Palo Verde National Park is one of the most important wetlands of Central America. You’ll delight in exploring Palo Verde's biodiversity on this half-day tour while a naturalist guide tells you about this unique ecosystem.

Following the boat tour, you'll taste traditional Costa Rica cuisine (casado). At the same time, a local artisan performs a pottery show.

Your visit, for it helps us to provide working opportunities to women and men within our community, while also allowing us to produce and buy local and organic products, supporting the growth of the local economy. Many of the food products are grown in our very own orchards in a sustainable way, and we also offer courses and certifications on sustainable farming practices.

It was a very enjoyable introduction to the river and the wildlife sharing the river and its banks. The guide his navigator on the river the food prepared were all excellent and I’m very please I used this site to do it rather than paying double to use a local provider who was clearly on the make with nearly double the fee ( although it did include pick up from Portrero) however the additional $20 per head debit card fee made me cancel the reservation. At least with this you know the right people who do all the work get the money. Bravo!
