On our first morning we hike the trails of La Paz Waterfall Gardens. There is something here to enchant everyone in your family - the largest butterfly observatory in the world, numerous hummingbirds, tropical gardens and a number of waterfalls. Following a leisurely lunch at the falls, we continue on to our lodge for a hike with a naturalist guide in the surrounding Tirimbina Reserve.
Travel by bus and boat to Tortuguero National Park, a rich lowland rain forest on the Caribbean coast. During our stay, we'll explore by boat on the waters that run through the primary forest, seeking out caimans, sloths, monkeys and a variety of tropical birds.
