This vast park protects the lower Tempisque River Basin, a series
of seasonal marshes providing ideal conditions for an incredible
array of waterfowl. A two-hour boat ride on the Tempisque - Costa
Rica's biggest river - is a rewarding experience for anyone interested

of waterfowl and wading birds in all of Central America, making it a
bird-watcher's heaven. Also, the surrounding tropical dry forest is
home to everything from monkeys to scarlet macaws. In the

architecture. You'll see the adobe- and tile-roof houses built more
than 200 years ago, as well as the mission and the gallery of pre-

you might encounter. Once participants have been assigned to their 4x4
vehicles, the group sets off - guided by an experienced, bilingual driver
who takes the convoy through back roads. Here, the scenery and lives
of rural Costa Ricans have barely changed over the years. Afterwards, the
convoy heads for the beach, passing through very rough terrain. There
are many photo opportunities at panoramic locations, and monkeys and
other animals are easy to spot along the way.
