Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge
The tour begins with a 90 minute drive in our air-conditioned bus through some of Costa Rica’s richest farmland. Your expert bilingual naturalist guide will point out some of Costa Rica’s agricultural bounty, including orange groves, passion fruit, papaya, yuca, cocoa, rice, corn, beans, bananas, plantains, sugar cane and ornamental plants.
Following a 15-minute break in Los Chiles, you’ll board a comfortable covered motor launch on the Rio Frio. All seats offer excellent viewing. Frequent sightings include three types of monkeys, bats, and two types of sloth, iguanas, “Jesus Christ” lizards, turtles, caimans, mammals and diverse species of flora and lowland birds.
Your chances of seeing certain species of migratory birds and caimans are even better in the afternoon. Our noon departure time from La Fortuna also allows you to take advantage of several fascinating morning excursions including the Safari Adventure Float, horseback ride to the waterfall and volcano hikes and still be back in time to visit Caño Negro - all in one day.
