Expert guides assist you in this exciting journey through the different layers of the rain forests and explain what is going on around you. This is a great way to see the inner Costa Rica, its natural beauty, and wildlife.
It also can be humorous, especially when your friend is so heavy he gets stuck in teh middle of a run and they have to send someone out to get him! (Sorry, no picture of that yet.) Leave a Comment Directions: Ask someone in your hotel or any tour kiosk in town. Jaco is near 3 separate canopy tours, and from what I understand, neither one is better than the next.

 playa Esterillos Este by pollon
The place seems really undiscovered by tourism - which should have made me put this under off the beaten path but why an hidden place shouldn't be a must see as well... ;-)?
Do not expect infrastructures and if you need a bathroom, go to the kiosk at the right corner of the road going to the beach, the man at the counter will ask you if you need to use it to undress or to actually use the bathroom and according to your answer, he will charge you (anyway a few cents of colones in both cases) but do not go bare footed, it's not exactly spick and span... Leave a Comment Directions: go south-east on the paved Costanera from Jacó to Quepos

 rabbit promontory by pollon
a silly note: in the pic the rabbit promontory which reminds me a radio programma I really like: "il ruggito del coniglio" (the roar of rabbit)... Leave a Comment

 Crocodile feeding by BEETLE_VERTE
2 hours boat ride (one guide, one driver, about 20 seated places, covered boat), 30 minutes from Jaco. They can pick you up at your hotel. 40$ per person including transport. They also give you a precious identification guide.
We saw crocodiles by the dozen. At some point, the captain even got out to feed one of their resident with a dead chicken. It was the occasion for some nice pictures!
But we also saw numerous birds: Pelicans, herons, egrets, ducks, stilts, whimbrels, sandpipers, vultures, hawks, ara macao, parrots, kingfishers, motmots, kingbirds, wrens, orioles, tanagers and so on!
And got an amazing view over the area, espacially respledisent at sunset.
The only thing seperating the tour from being one of the best of my life was the lack of experience or preparation or organisation in the boat. The guide would describe birds on only one side of the boat, so if you're seated on the wrong one, you don't get to see much (sit on the side of the guide!). The captain fed the crocodile from shore, but straigt in front of the boat, so anyone sitting beyond the third row wouldn't catch much of the show...
But overall, an amazing experience, a great way to explore the wildlife and make contact with the ecosystem.

Our guide was also thoughtful enough to ask if we wanted him to call a few whores to come along on the boat with us. We respectfully declined. Leave a Comment Directions: Again, check with your hotel or a tour kiosk in town.
