About this experience

Embark on a thrilling adventure starting with a refreshing swim in the pristine Río Celeste River (not the waterfall), surrounded by turquoise waters and lush rainforest. Continue with a guided walk through the Tenorio Volcano area to spot iconic Costa Rican sloths in their natural habitat, along with toucans, the elusive red-eyed tree frog, and other vibrant wildlife. After this encounter with nature, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant featuring a beautiful butterfly garden, where you can admire the stunning blue morpho butterfly. The day continues with an engaging coffee and cacao experience, learning how these staples are grown, harvested, and transformed. Taste fresh coffee, sample rich cacao, and discover their cultural importance. This immersive experience blends wildlife discovery, cultural flavor, and natural beauty into one unforgettable day.
