JUNGLE
CANOPY AND TROPICAL BEACHES TOUR
INFO
|
For
a great combination of physical activity and relaxation,
this tour can't be beat. Relax and enjoy the views of the
Costa Rican countryside on the 60-70 minute ride from the
cruise ship pier to the starting point of the canopy tour.
Once you arrive, it's time for the activity portion. After
receiving your equipment and a safety briefing to make sure
you're comfortable, your tree-top adventure begins. You'll
feel the adrenaline rush as you zip via sturdy cables from
platform to platform, beginning in the tree tops and gliding
your way down to the beach.
Your guide will help you identify the wildlife you are
likely to see from your unique tree top perspective. Another
view you might not expect is the viewing of the Bri-Bri
Indian Village, home of an aboriginal family, who still
lives in the traditional thatched home.
After the zip line, you've earned some time to relax again,
with a break for a snack of tropical fruit, soft drink or
coffee at a local lodge and some time to relax at their
beach. You may even see a monkey or two!
As you make your way back to the pier, you'll stop for about
an hour at a beautiful, tropical beach with calm clear
waters for swimming, shops for browsing and restaurants if
you're hungry or thirsty. A final stop at a banana
plantation, including a tour of the packing house, rounds
out the tour and leaves you with wonderful memories of your
visit to Costa Rica

 Take this tram through the
rainforest for an incredible experience. On this trip, you must
consider your travel to the tram as part of the incredible experience
as you take the interior roads to the starting point. The ride to this
point is two hours, allowing you to absorb the lifestyle as you travel
and surely allow you a nap on your return ride. The Rain Forest Aerial
Tram is located on a 1,000-acre, private nature reserve. You will
travel through the Braulio Carrillo National Park along the main road
which connects the capital with the Atlantic.
You will have a naturalist with you, which is in integral part of this
tour. A good guide will stand out and leave you in awe wanting more.
The best guides do get professionally trained at the local
universities as this is a big industry in Costa Rica.
The tram takes visitors on a fascinating tour through the rain forest
canopy and its hanging gardens of plants and animals hidden at the
tops of tall tropical trees. Home to two-thirds of all rain forest
species, the canopy is a little-known world of tremendous beauty and
extraordinary biological diversity. You will enjoy a 1 1/4-hour ride
in the tram and time for an optional nature walk. |

Visit this park, known for its
mahogany trees, then a beach and butterflies, for a perfect day. Begin this day visiting the
park created to protect this country's largest coral reef. One hundred
twenty-three species of fish have been listed here, along with a
variety of corals and other invertebrates. The park also protects an
example of tropical moist forest, along with swamps forest and
marshland. Cahuita is a perfect place for those who want to enjoy the
sun, the sand and a beach in the Caribbean Sea.
Upon arrival to Cahuita Town, we will get into the park for a nature
walk and enjoy the rich biodiversity of the area, along a flat and
shady trail that runs along the shoreline. Monkeys, iguanas, birds,
caymans and many other species are very common to see during this
tour. Beach time will be included for all those interested. Changing
rooms and showers are available at the park.
After adequate time, you will move on to the fascinating butterfly
farm, where you will see butterflies in various stages of development.
During another short nature walk into the rain forest, learn about
medicinal plants. Imagine discovering new fragrances, new flavors and
the origins of some that you have already experienced, but have not
known much about-and doing this in the middle of the exuberant
rainforest, surrounded by an intense array of wild leaves and flowers.
More to learn and so you will move on for a visit to a banana
plantation and its packing house. Costa Rica is the second largest
producer of the bananas and seeing the process of everything that
happens before you slice a banana into your cereal is again
unbelievable.
This reserve is located close to Estero Negro, where you will
experience an amazing canoe trip with our guide, getting close to a
variety of wildlife.

that provides a home to exotic animals and plants. Monkeys,
