Spend a full day exploring the best of Aquetzalli on this complete experience that combines waterfall hiking, riverside relaxation, and cultural discovery. Begin with a guided hike through lush forest trails, leading to a spectacular waterfall where you can swim and refresh in crystal-clear waters surrounded by tropical vegetation.

Continue to Coyote Spot, a serene riverside retreat where you can unwind, enjoy free time by the water, and connect with the area's peaceful atmosphere. Throughout the day, your naturalist guide will share insights about local wildlife, plant life, and conservation efforts.

A traditional Costa Rican lunch is included, freshly prepared with local ingredients and full of authentic flavor. Ideal for nature lovers and adventure seekers, this full-day experience captures the essence of Guanacaste's natural beauty in one unforgettable journey.

    Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.

  • Kevin Arias, Naturalist Guide at Puma Expeditions

    Kevin Arias

    Naturalist Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.

    Driver Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
