Tarcoles
After we pick you up at your Hotel in San Jose, we will drive for 1 hour and 15 minutes aproximately to Tarcoles River. Once you board the boat our adventure begins. You will have the opportunity to see magnificent ancient reptiles with sizes of more than 4 meters. Crocodiles have been on the planet for more than two hundred million years. Since they haven't changed much over time, they are considered living dinosaurs. You can also see iguanas and basilisks in their natural environment. You will be accompanied by a Captain and a bilingual guide, both navigation experts willing to provide all the information about the fauna and flora of the river while facilitating you the opportunity to photograph and film the wildlife at close range. At the end of our adventure in the river, we will go to the beautiful beach of Jaco at a hotel facing the sea.
