Itinerary Overview
- Start the Experience: Your adventure begins with a private hotel pick-up in La Fortuna. After a short, scenic 25-minute drive, you’ll arrive at the Peñas Blancas River. Your guide will share safety tips and introduce you to the local ecosystem before you board the raft.
- Float the River: Sit back and relax as the gentle current carries you through the rainforest. Along the way, your guide will help you spot monkeys, sloths, iguanas, caimans, and the famous Jesus Christ lizards that “walk on water.”
- Wildlife Observation: This peaceful river is a paradise for bird lovers. Watch for toucans, herons, kingfishers, and dozens of colorful species. Listen to the sounds of the jungle and enjoy the calm pace of the river.
- Local Flavor & Refreshment: After about two hours on the water, stop at a riverside farm. Enjoy fresh coffee, local snacks, and a moment to relax before heading back to La Fortuna.
- Tortilla Making Experience: After the river tour, head to Doña Mara’s home, a short drive away. Here, you’ll learn how to press, grill, and flip traditional tortillas by hand. This hands-on activity is guided by a local expert and ends with a full Costa Rican lunch served fresh with your handmade tortillas.
- Return to La Fortuna: After this relaxing and educational journey, your private driver will take you back to your hotel. You’ll leave refreshed, inspired, and filled with appreciation for Costa Rica’s natural beauty.
