Hidden in the northern plains of Costa Rica lies one of the country’s last great wild treasures: the Caño Blanco Nature Sanctuary. This off-the-beaten-path adventure takes you through rural landscapes, exotic wetlands, and evergreen forests, where nature thrives in its purest form.
Your journey begins with a scenic drive through charming countryside roads, leading to a pristine paradise that feels untouched by time. From there, you’ll board a quiet motorboat, specially designed to navigate the winding channels of this wetland ecosystem. As you drift peacefully through these waters, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and an abundance of wildlife at every turn.
A Birdwatcher’s Paradise
The Caño Blanco wetlands are a critical nesting ground for both migratory and resident bird species. Keep your eyes open for herons, storks, kingfishers, jacanas, ducks, ospreys, hawks, and even elusive birds like potoos and trogons. This sanctuary is truly a haven for bird enthusiasts and photographers alike.
Wildlife Encounters Around Every Bend
This floating safari is not just about birds—you’ll also have the chance to spot an incredible variety of animals. Watch playful monkeys swing through the treetops, discover sloths resting high in the canopy, and observe iguanas and the famous basilisk lizard basking near the river’s edge. The waters themselves are home to turtles, caimans, and maybe even crocodiles. Every moment on this journey offers a new and exciting glimpse of Costa Rica’s wild side.
More Than Just Nature
The adventure concludes in the most authentic way possible—a visit with a local Costa Rican family. Here, you’ll enjoy delicious homemade treats prepared with love, share stories, and even practice a little Spanish in a warm and welcoming environment. It’s a cultural experience that makes the tour as meaningful as it is adventurous.
