Sarapiquí Travel Guide

 ahouse2003 Says:  We took a boat ride down the Sarapiqui River, which is located in a remote area near the Nicaraguan border. This is a relaxing way to see how locals live and have a chance to view Costa Rica's wildlife. We saw howler monkeys, crocodiles, bats, iguanas, and picturesque jungle... 

 ginguba Says:  For the river boat trip ask at your hotel. I can remember the company we got to take us. We were quite lucky - since it wasn't high season, there weren't many people there so we got the boat all to ourselves and the boy that was driving it, so we got some good talking and... 

 Suzie3 Says:  A lovely relaxing few hours on the Rio Sarapiqui will show you lots and lots of great wildlife or a ride on the wildside by going on one of the white water rafting trips on a different section. This is a wonderful river to experience a rainforest from.Birds, monkeys (mostly... 

 Suzanne123 Says:  There are many tour companies that offer a visit to this lodge with lunch included. The property where this lodge is located is part of the tropical rainforest. There is a suspension bridge over the Sarapiqui river and you can have the opportunity to walk around the... 

 grets Says:  My poor parents get dragged into something adventurous and dangerous again! (funnily enough, after this holiday they decided they would join us on more trips. Wonder why?)The four of us are kitted out in life jackets and given a safety briefing before we get in the... 

 grets Says:  The air is a-flutter with little wings as beautifully coloured butterflies whizz past you on their way to another flower.From pupa to fully fledged, all the stages of the life of a butterfly can be seen here, and the large enclosure is full of many different species. The are... 

 grets Says:  These frogs are incredibly small - only about 10-12mm long and therefore almost impossible to spot. The guide did remarkably well and we saw several specimens in the wild grounds of the lodge. Poison dart frogs are best known for the deadly poison some species produce in... 

 grets Says:  All around us when we were ccyling, we saw pineapple plantations, and therefore it came as no surpirse when we stopped at a pineapple packing plant. Seeing the process from start to finish and sampling the goods. Very sweet and fresh, not like the ones we get in the UK. 

 grets Says:  The lodge rents out bikes and you can choose the grade of difficulty you would like to cycle. We chose country tracks as we had my 75-year old mum and dad with us. It's probably only the second time the two of them have been on bikes in the last 20 years (and the previous... 

 grets Says:  This is one of Costa Rica's premier bird watching areas, so an early morning bird walk is a must. We saw several of the 400 species that are found here, including motmot and trogons.

 grets Says:  Simple but comfortable accommodation in blocks around beautifully natural grounds. Superb restaurant and rustic bar. Swimming pool. Many activities can be arranged from here. The hotel has its own butterfly house and poison dart frog garden. 

 DocJules Says:  Beautiful grounds in which humming birds dart about in front of the veranda of your own private cottage. An impressive butterfly house, it's own museum of Costa Rican history. A lake with a pagoda in the middle just to relax and watch it all happen around you...Need I say...
