After pick-up at 7am from your hotel, relax in the air-conditioned vehicle during the 2-hour journey to Palo Verde National Park. When you arrive at Ballena Port, board a boat and begin your ride down the Tempiesque River, where you will observe local wildlife. Palo Verde comprises dry forest, wetland and mangrove swamp — the perfect habitat for crocodiles, monkeys, iguanas, parrots and other exotic birds. Break for lunch (included) around 11:30 am and enjoy a delicious Costa Rican meal. At 12:30 pm, you will board the vehicle and head back to your hotel in Tamarindo.
