If you want to see ruins this is a great, short stop with a lot of history. It didn't cost very much and was a nice walk through the jungle. They have a lot of signage telling you what you are seeing. The drive up the mountain was a lot of fun. The views are incredible.

Reviewed By SueF386 - Stroud, United Kingdom
we were taken on a guided tour of CATIE to look at the plants and trees as well as the bird life. It was a fascinating tour giving an insight into Costa Rican agriculture and plant life. The uses of certain fruits and trees were explained in detail - it felt that we could learn from the Costa Ricans to use natural remedies for a wide range of ailments. We saw a variety of birds and thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Reviewed By 89arsenyv
One of the great rivers that Costa Rica has to offer. This one is family friendly as well as interesting enough for up to level 4 kayakers. Many put in options from calm to more advance white water experience. You would need some local guidance as the entrance to the river are hard to find.
