Overview
Experience the perfect blend of nature, wildlife, and Costa Rican tradition with this peaceful river float and authentic culinary experience. Ideal for families, couples, and curious travelers, this half-day adventure offers a gentle way to explore the rainforest and connect with local culture.
Your journey begins on the Peñas Blancas River, where you’ll board a stable raft and drift quietly along calm waters surrounded by lush tropical forest. With your naturalist guide, spot wildlife like monkeys, toucans, sloths, iguanas, and colorful tropical birds. The slow pace of the safari float allows for close-up encounters and great photo opportunities while enjoying the tranquility of nature.
After your float, visit a nearby family-owned farm, where you’ll be warmly welcomed with a refreshing tropical drink. Here, Doña Mara will teach you the art of making handmade corn tortillas, a cherished Costa Rican tradition. You’ll knead, shape, and cook your own tortilla on a wood-fired stove — then enjoy it fresh, accompanied by a delicious typical lunch prepared with local ingredients.
It’s a genuine and heartwarming cultural experience that connects you to Costa Rica’s roots and flavors. After lunch, your driver will take you back to your hotel in La Fortuna, carrying the memories of a day filled with nature, culture, and authentic hospitality.
