Tour Itinerary
Starting Your Tour
Your day begins when you are picked up at your accommodations in Jaco Beach or Herradura by your English speaking guide and you are off to see the monkeys. The scenic drive along the coast is barely an hour and you are at the park. Your guides have “Superman eyes”! They are trained at spotting things you would never see on your own. Most common sightings are white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, two and three toed sloths, deer, peccaries, raccoons, endangered squirrel monkeys, reptiles and lizards. There are 4 different pristine, white sand beaches to explore and swim if you desire.
Dine in a Piece of Controversial History
Now that you have worked up an appetite we will have a delicious local lunch before we head back to Jaco Beach in time for the sunset.
