Full Description

Your adventure begins at the Puerto Limón port, where your guide welcomes you and leads you to a boat. Cruise approximately 70 minutes along the Tortuguero Canals, surrounded by dense rainforest and abundant wildlife. Keep an eye out for caimans, monkeys, sloths, and a variety of birds.

After the canal ride, drive to Playa Bonita, where you can relax and enjoy the sun for about 20 minutes. Then, explore Maratopia, a lush tropical garden full of vibrant plants, enormous butterflies, and sleeping sloths. Enjoy tasting fresh, seasonal tropical fruits straight from the garden.
