Your guide will show you many different species, such as sloths and numerous species of monkeys, as they travel through the tree canopy, playing with each other and searching for insects and tropical fruits to eat. You will also be able to see several types of reptiles resting in the trees or running in the middle of the tropical rainforest. While enjoying your surroundings you can listen to the songs of the various birds as they glide above your group, curiously looking for adventure. On this 2 ½-hour nature walk you will see infinitely kinds of flora and fauna. Your experienced guide will help you easily spot wildlife you would otherwise miss, set up a telescope for you to admire them up close, and even take pictures through it.

You can take an additional hike on the forest trails or enjoy unspoiled, un-crowded, pristine beaches – it’s up to you.
