Tour Overview
This boat ride on the River Tempisque provides an introduction to the vast Palo Verde National Park. You'll be able to explore its biodiverse habitats and see animals like crocodiles and monkeys.
Palo Verde is so large that it encompasses a wide range of terrains, including swamps, savannahs, and rainforests. The river runs for 144 kilometers through the park and is by far Costa Rica's longest. Your guide will point out wildlife such as white-faced monkeys, howler monkeys, snakes, iguanas, and bats as you cruise along its waters. Keep an eye out for crocodile eyes peering out from beneath the murky waters.
