The day will start with an early pick up, right after breakfast so you can have the right energy for the amazing day that awaits you! We will drive for about 20 minutes to the beautiful River of Penas Blancas, close from La Fortuna where our journey will begin... Once at the river, after the guide's talk and the safety life jackets and helmets are on you will seat on a raft that can fit up to 5-6 people and your assigned guide, this will be a peaceful ride flowing down the river, slowly overlooking and experiencing what is like to be in the middle of the rainforest. Pay attention to the sounds and the fabulous animals that the guide will point out for you to see, among others, there will be monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans, birds and much more! A refreshing snack with tropical juices and fruits will be provided in the middle of the river at a nice clear, it can't get any more natural than this!

We had an amazing experience with our driver Ivan during our time in Costa Rica. He is not only a safe and skilled driver but also incredibly friendly, personable, and patient. His warm and welcoming nature made our journey even more enjoyable, and we truly appreciated his insights and conversation along the way. It’s clear he’s a family man who cares about the people he meets, and we felt completely at ease traveling with him. If you’re looking for a reliable and kind driver in Costa Rica, we highly recommend him! Tuvimos una experiencia increíble con Iván durante nuestro tiempo en Costa Rica. No solo es un conductor seguro y profesional, sino también una persona muy amable, amigable y paciente. Su calidez y buen trato hicieron que nuestro viaje fuera aún más agradable, y apreciamos mucho sus conversaciones y recomendaciones. Se nota que es un hombre de familia que se preocupa por las personas que conoce, y nos sentimos completamente cómodos viajando con él. Si buscan un conductor confiable y atento en Costa Rica, ¡lo recomendamos totalmente!
