4 in 1 Sloths, Waterfall & Jungle Lagoon Safari at the Rainforest

About this activity

Three places in one day, and each one a different Costa Rica. We start at Llanos de Cortés, where a wide curtain of water falls onto a sand beach — the rare waterfall you can actually swim at, not just photograph. Then north into the Bijagua rainforest, on the Caribbean slope, where the climate changes completely and so does the wildlife: this is sloth country, along with poison dart frogs, toucans, monkeys and the birds of a much wetter forest. We walk it with a naturalist guide inside a private reserve, not a public trail with a queue. The day ends on a jungle lagoon, drifting the canals on a traditional raft with spotting equipment on board, watching for waterbirds along the edges. Because the tour is private, the pace is yours — photographers get the time they need, and nobody is rushed back to a bus. What we promise is the access, the guiding and the day itself, never a guaranteed species list.
