You ride a shared boat down the Tempisque and Bebedero rivers, then visit Guaitíl, where artisans still shape Chorotega pottery. Lunch included.
Two rivers, one boat. The route runs the Tempisque and the Bebedero through Palo Verde National Park and the Cipancí wetlands, prime ground for migratory and resident wildlife. Your guide points out crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, and tropical birds; the slow pace and open views make photos easy.
After the safari comes Guaitíl, a village known for Chorotega pottery. Local artisans shape each piece with methods handed down through generations, and you get to watch them work.
Lunch is included: traditional Costa Rican food to finish the day.

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.
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.
