General Information About Safari + Llanos del Cortés
Enjoy the tranquility of the lower section of
the Río Tenorio on this easy-going, nature-
lover's safari float. Your eagle-eyed guide will
paddle and steer your raft as he points out
the wide array of species of plants and
animals. Spot monkeys, lizards, crocodiles
and even river otters, plus an
incredible amount of tropical birds such as
ospreys, boat-billed herons, parrots,
kingfishers and more as you quietly pass by.
This will be one of your favorite memories of
Costa Rica as you just relax and enjoy the
scenery. Your float will be followed by a
spread of a fresh, tropical fruit break. You’ll
then be transported back to the starting point for a delicious, typical, Costa Rican lunch.
The Río Tenorio Safari Float is great for nature lovers of all ages –children love this tour! We
often have some rafting enthusiasts do the Río Tenorio Class 3-4 rafting while the rest of the group
does the float trip. This is a great full-day excursion for the whole family.
On the way back we discover the amazing Waterfall located in Bagaces
Bagaces is a canton in Guanacaste that is the heart and soul of some awesome spots, activities and
secret places that many of us do not know of. On this trip you will not only think/say ¡wowww!,
But you will want to go straight down to Guanacaste for the weekend...
After passing the entrance to Bagaces you will go 3 more kilometers to pass over Rio Piedras,
where you turn left until you reach the entrance of the farm. Normally at the entrance, there is
someone from the local community charging, the amount is voluntary, it’s intended for schools,
sports teams, and various needs.
The road that leads from the entrance of the farm to the parking lot is not in good condition, but
this does not prevent a car from getting there. Once in the parking lot we got out and were
greeted by a care keeper who explained to us in a few words the path of the waterfall, and
another not so well known path that leads to a natural pool.
We grabbed our junk from the car and walked about 50 meters until we reached what looked
more like a private beach, but with an impressive view, this was the infamous Llanos de Cortes
waterfall. We sat down in the shade to appreciate the glorious cascade, while we prepared
ourselves for the so desired dip.
