From La Fortuna we will take a twenty minute drive to the Peñas Blancas River to start the tour. Here we will start our trip of approximately two hours in an inflatable raft (no motor) on the lower, slower moving section of the river. You will be able to hear the sounds of nature as our guide describes the flora and fauna of the region. During this time it is also possible to see howler monkeys, crocodiles, toucans, two species of sloths and different bird species.
 

Once we complete this first part of the tour its time to visit the farm of Don Pedro where he and his family will be waiting for us
After the visit with Don Pedro we will journey into the farm’s Primary Tropical Rain Forest. There we will find trees over 100 years old and have the opportunity to see the “ Blue Jean Frog ” (Dendrobates pumilio). Throughout this part of the tour our guide will explain the medicinal uses of many plants found in the rainforest.
 

Finally, we will get back into the raft and float the remaing 40 minutes to Boca Arenal while we enjoy the scenery.
Here the bus will pick us up and take us back to La Fortuna allowing you an opportunity to see the extensive agricultural system of San Carlos County.
