Our
adventure begins at INBioparque, just 20 minutes away from San
José. An amazing park where you can experience the sounds
and sights of Costa Rican nature, while walking along interpretative
trails. INBioparque is a great introduction to the vast world
of biological diversity found in Costa Rica and its protected
areas.
Upon arrival, you will enjoy a
15-minute video about Costa Rican biodiversity. Then, accompanied
by a naturalist guide, you will marvel at the astonishing colors
of our butterflies; learn from where poison dart frogs get their
name; find out why it is better to avoid bullet ants, the largest
in Central América; and witness a lagoon through an underwater
glass window.
A quiet guided walk through samples of the pre-mountainous forest,
the rainforest and the dry forest, could give you the opportunity
to encounter white tale deer, sloths, iguanas, boas and turtles.
Before experiencing a light and
sound show highlighting Costa Rica's protected areas, you will
visit " La Finca" where we cultivate a variety of natural
products. 
Our visit to the INBioparque will
conclude with a delicious typical lunch in the Heliconias restaurant.
After this fascinating introduction to the flora and fauna of
Costa Rica, we travel about an hour to arrive to our next exciting
destination, the Rain Forest Aerial Tram - Caribbean. This private
reserve adjacent to Braulio Carrillo National Park is a sanctuary
that holds an eco tourism park and research facilities unique
in the world. On the way into the park we'll stop briefly to enjoy
the impressive panoramic views of giant rainforest trees spread
out as far as the eye can see.
We'll
see a 15-minute video about the creation of the Rain Forest Aerial
Tram and then join an expert naturalist guide who will lead us
on a 45-minute hike through an easy walking trail deep in the
heart of the forest. As we board the tram and move silently through
the rainforest in open gondolas, you will discover plants and
animals that have been hidden in the forest canopy. As we skim
the forest floor and then soar above the treetops, we'll enjoy
incredible hanging gardens and experience great beauty and extraordinary
biological diversity. After the tram ride, we'll enjoy a delicious
coffee in our open-air cafeteria in the jungle, with time to enjoy
the surrounding grounds before heading back to San Jose.
