This amazing treetop adventure begins with a pickup from the pier and a relaxing drive through the wonderful Costa Rican countryside towards the Central Pacific Coast. The drive is approximately one hour and en route your guide will point out many sights of interest as you pass through rural farming communities, diverse fruit stands and coffee, sugar and citrus plantations.

Your destination is Villa Lapas Eco Hotel, set amidst a 500-acre rain forest reserve. You'll feel one with nature as you experience the forest canopy via a series of skywalks and hanging bridges. This leisurely 1.5-mile walk will immerse your senses, from the delightfully earthy aroma of the forest to the lush greens of the flora, from the excitement of seeing the forest animals to the vocalizations of the howler monkeys and the brilliantly colored Scarlet Macaws.

After exploring the treetops, your tour continues with a short drive to the Tarcoles River, where a 60-minute eco boat tour will allow you to enjoy the abundant wildlife of the area, including huge crocodiles, multiple aquatic birds, and other amazing tropical species.

After these two great adventures, you'll return to Puntarenas. Here, you'll have the choice of returning to your ship or taking some time to explore the city's boulevards, visit a cafe or do some shopping. You'll find the cruise pier is right nearby, so you'll find your ship with ease.
