A slow float down the Corobicí River, then a swim at the base of Llanos del Cortés Waterfall. Wildlife first, cool water after.

Enjoy a perfect blend of nature, relaxation, and waterfalls on this Corobicí River safari float paired with a visit to Llanos del Cortés Waterfall. Begin with a gentle float down the Corobicí River, where your naturalist guide will help you spot howler monkeys, iguanas, crocodiles, and a wide variety of tropical birds along the riverbanks.

The calm pace of the float allows for excellent wildlife photography and a peaceful immersion in Guanacaste's tropical dry forest. Learn about the area's ecology and the conservation efforts that protect this unique ecosystem.

Continue to Llanos del Cortés, a stunning waterfall cascading into a natural pool perfect for swimming and refreshing in pristine waters. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this hidden gem offers a relaxing finale to a day of wildlife discovery and natural beauty in Guanacaste.

    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.

    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.
