Palo Verde River Safari & Cultural Experience

Embark on a scenic boat tour along the Tempisque River, where nature thrives on the edge of Palo Verde National Park. This journey offers an up-close look at one of Costa Rica’s richest ecosystems — home to crocodiles, howler monkeys, iguanas, and hundreds of bird species. With luck, you might spot herons, spoonbills, storks, and even scarlet macaws soaring overhead.

Guided by a naturalist expert, you’ll navigate through wetlands, mangroves, and dry forests, learning about the unique wildlife that inhabits the region — including the elusive jaguarundi, coatis, and anteaters.

After your river safari, enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch before heading to the artisan village of Guaitil. There, you’ll discover the ancient Chorotega pottery-making tradition and meet the local artists who preserve this cultural legacy.
