The Peñas Blancas River is fed by the pristine waters of several private cloud forest reserves in Monteverde and is surrounded by lush rainforest, which makes it an important biological corridor, among the farms and crop fields around it. Following your safari float on the Peñas Blancas River you will get to visit one of the most iconic landmarks at the foothills of the Arenal Volcano - The majestic La Fortuna Waterfall.
An amazing fact about this day tour is that by visiting the La Fortuna Waterfall, you will not only have the opportunity to enjoy this magnificent natural sight, but you will also contribute to the local community. 100% of all ticket funds are directly supporting local, social and school projects, nutritional centers, the orphanage, our roads and more.
Your day will start with one of the most unique ways to explore the wonders of Costa Rica’s natural world - on a safari float on the Peñas Blancas River which is a haven for biodiversity and wildlife sightings. Accompanied by your expert naturalist guide you will calmly maneuver down the river being on the lookout for exotic birds, white-faced capuchin, monkeys, sloths, river turtles, crocodiles, iguanas and many bird species. This safari float trip will allow you to experience places that can otherwise not be reached by car or horseback. Marvel at the breathtaking landscapes just before heading back to continue onto your second exploration of the day!
The incredible level of humidity of La Fortuna with more than 4000 ml of annual precipitation is what contributes greatly to the creation of the majestic La Fortuna Waterfall that stands at a height of 210 feet (64 meters). This adventure definitely requires a moderate walking condition, since a descent of 500 meters downhill is between the fascinating viewpoint at the top of the valley and the bottom of the river, where the "natural pools" will invite you for a refreshing swim to cool you off after all the exercise. Bring your camera to snap some of the most memorable landscape and vacation pictures.
After you mastered the return to the top of the La Fortuna Waterfall park we will get to enjoy a rich, traditional Costa Rican farm-to-table lunch to replenish body and soul after a memorable day outdoors exploring the area.
