Wildlife, Beach, Volcano, And Jungle Tour

We know in advance that the free botanical garden of the Bougainvillea Hotel is something exuberant to enchant the visitor upon arrival. As a starting point, this tour begins at the Bougainvillea Hotel and continues to the Caribbean jungle of Tortuguero, which will give the traveler a phenomenal experience.

From Tortuguero's Channels to Arenal's Majesty: A Journey Through Costa Rica's Natural Wonders:

If you think that traveling by boat through the natural channels of Tortuguero or having the opportunity to observe Spider Monkeys, even walking with the turtles that come to visit the beach, is excellent, think about the fact that the next place where we will rest is located at the foot of the most impressive volcano in Costa Rica, with views of the lake and world-class trails, Arenal Observatory Lodge will make your feel absolutely welcome.

To finish this tour we will move to the Costa Rican Pacific to enjoy a place full of nature such as impressive trees, Scarlet Macaw, top-notch restaurants, and one of the best beaches in the central Pacific.

Trip Gear and Clothing:

Binoculars are always recommended on all wildlife tours and this one is not an exception.

You are coming to a Rainforest, though you may need simple tools, but useful:

A good raincoat or waterproof rain gear, always makes a big difference when that unexpected shower comes through, you may not experience any of them, however, keep that in mind
You should bring an umbrella instead of a raincoat, it can get too hot
Short and long sleeve shirts, we also recommend bringing long & short pants, all these items lightweight and comfortable
Lightweight jacket, hopefully, synthetic material, and a heavier fleece for cool weather
A good hat that can offer protection from the sun
Walking or hiking shoes and sandals or flip flops
Bottle for water or “hydration pack” such as Camelback
Prescription glasses and sunglasses with a strap if you prefer
