Description
Flowing from the lush foothills of Tenorio Volcano, the Río Frío winds its way through forests and farmlands before reaching the northern lowlands near Nicaragua. This river has been a lifeline for the Maleku Indigenous community, serving for generations as a source of food, transportation, and cultural connection. Today, it remains one of the most important waterways in northern Costa Rica, feeding the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, a RAMSAR wetland of international importance for its incredible biodiversity. As you glide quietly along the calm waters, discover how this river supports a mosaic of ecosystems. Its gallery forest shelters countless species — monkeys, sloths, caimans, turtles, iguanas, and a wide variety of tropical birds. The dense vegetation not only provides habitat but also protects the riverbanks from erosion and floods, preserving the balance between nature and local agriculture. Your local naturalist guide and boat captain will help you spot hidden wildlife and share fascinating insights about the plants, animals, and conservation efforts in the region. This peaceful journey invites you to connect with nature through all your senses — listening to the forest’s sounds, feeling the river breeze, and observing life in its purest form. To end the experience, visit a local Costa Rican family on their farm, where you’ll enjoy warm hospitality and taste homemade snacks prepared with love. It’s more than a tour — it’s an authentic encounter with the people, culture, and natural beauty that make Costa Rica truly unforgettable.Includes
