The Long-Nosed Bat, monkeys, caimans, iguanas, birds, and owls all reside along the banks of the Peñas Blancas River, and nature lovers of all ages will love this tour. After a short drive from La Fortuna to the river dock, your guide will take you on a two-hour float down the Peñas Blancas, sharing his knowledge and telling the history of the area. You will pass family-owned farms along the way, and at the end of the tour stop at one where a local family will share coffee, bread, plantains, cheese, or other local dishes with you.
