Your tour will begin at your accommodation, where you will be picked up in a comfortable coach and transported to the Paquita River. Board your river boat for a full two hour exploration of this incredible mangrove ecosystem, complete with incredible jungle river channels and plentiful wildlife. Upon return, you can enjoy a delicious Costa Rican lunch at a typical local restaurant, all before heading back to your accommodation where your tour will conclude.
