Description

The PURA VIDA NATURE FLOATING is a trip full of nature and wildlife. This is a smooth and quiet section of the Sarapiquí River which we highly recommend for nature lovers of all ages (children included!). Your Bilingual Certified Guide will do most of the paddling while pointing out all the exotic wildlife such as river otters, sloths, monkeys, and birds. In addition to the animal life, your guide will show and inform you about the dozens of unique and beautiful plants and trees that are natives to the Costa Rican jungle. You’ll float next to the Braulio Carrillo National Park which is part of the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor San Juan - La Selva, a corridor that connects our Costa Rican tropical forest to Nicaragua’s. You’ll get to explore some of the most prestigious riverbanks in Costa Rica while enjoying delicious, fresh, and seasonal fruits that your guide will prepare for you during a quick break by the river. For those who want to be even closer to nature, you will have the chance to jump off the boat to take a swim and enjoy perfect tropical water temperature as you go down the river. This is a 2-hour experience, and it is ideal for families, couples, or larger groups willing to immerse themselves in the Rainforest.
