Tamarindo

You will be picked up from the airport and delight in the rolling green hills of rural Costa Rica as you are taken to your relaxing hotel on the beaches of Tamarindo.

After breakfast you will be taken to the stunning Palo Verde National Park, an 18.5 hectare stretch of wetland sanctuary that lies at the head of the Gulf of Nicoya, acting as a basin for all the region’s rivers. Bisected by waterways and dotted with limestone hills, the Park is home to 13 distinct habitats including evergreen forests, grassland, marshes and mangrove swamps. As a result, Palo Verde is on of the preeminent Costa Rica wildlife spotting destinations, with a great ecological diversity waiting for the adventurous traveler.

Birds are the biggest attraction at Palo Verde National Park; in the wet season the floodwaters of the Tempisque River spread to form extensive marshes that welcome migrant birds from North and Latin America. Large numbers of aquatic birds can be seen such as: grebes, cormorants, anhinga, herons, jabirus storks, ibises, spoonbills, falcons, caracaras and jacanas. The mammal fauna is equally rich and visible, particularly during the dry season when peccaries, armadillos, jaguarondis, coatis, agoutis, deer, and monkeys are attracted to the water holes.

Your full-day tour includes a mid-day lunch and in the late afternoon you will return to your hotel to spend the evening at your leisure.

A tasty breakfast will be followed by whatever your heart desires. In Tamarindo you will find an abundance of outdoor sports and water activities as well as great dining and shopping. We suggest selecting from our list of additional services and taking advantage of one of the many activities that we provide in this beautiful area.

After breakfast, you will have the rest of the day to spend at your leisure before we transfer you to the airport where you may continue your journey in Costa Rica or go on to one of our many other South American destinations or return home.
