Wonderful time on the river where we saw crocodiles, monkeys, etc, followed by a tour of a working coffee processing plant. Both were highly enjoyable and informative. Lunch was amazing — just good ol’ Costa Rican Home Cooking. The highlight of the day was how knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and helpful our guide was. If you get the chance, request him by name — Harold (Duck). You won’t regret it!

We had a private tour organized by Nacho for our group of 14 people (3 families -adults and teens). Nacho picked us up in a large bus (at our villa) that comfortably drove us to the Volcano and Waterfall Hike. The hike was beautiful and it lead us to the most stunning waterfalls. We then had some lunch before we finished the day with Zip Lining. Our guides were professional, helpful and the day was amazing. I can not say enough about this tour and the incredible waterfall we got to see and swim into! Nacho is amazing and I agree with all the other reviews! He is attentive, professional and amazing!!!

Overall Ratings

The natural hydrologic system of the Tempisque River creates the perfect conditions for an enormous variation of animals. As a result of this the Palo Verde National Park works as a refuge for hundreds of resident birds and a wide variety of migratory species. It really is a bird watchers paradise, but it is also the perfect spot to see lots of howler and capuchin monkeys as well as crocodiles on the riverside. At the end of the tour down the river it will be time to get a delicious traditional lunch. After enjoying this great meal you will go visit the famous artisan’s village of Guaitil. Here you can learn about the Chorotegan Indians and watch the artists as they make the pottery heritage from their Pre-Columbian ancestors.

We did this hike as part of a day tour to see Tenorino (sp) National Park. I expected this to be canned and cheesy. Boy did I get surprised! Our tour guide met a young Tica who walked us through the sanctuary. We saw numerous sloths including a baby and Mom that were low enough to get excellent video. I got some of my best Howler Monkey shots of our month long vacation here. We had an eyelash viper pointed out for us. But the highlights, I think, were the frogs. She located and pointed out the Red Eyed Tree Frog for us. It is one of Costa Rica's iconic animals. We would have missed it without her guidance. Additionally, she spotted the Mr. Blue Jeans frog that was so tiny from distance that we would have passed by, close up photos reveal and exquisitely colorful and beautiful animal. It was great! All the animals are free roaming and are held there by favorable habitat.
