Try this variation which includes Curu National Park for more adventure. A short boat ride passes a sunken ship, Rainbow Arch rock and usually schools of dolphins, fish, and the occasional sea turtle. We arrive at near-by Curu National Park where professional bilingual guides lead a pleasant and easy walk through the forest and fields pointing out the native trees, plants and wildlife. The park is home to three types of monkeys, anteaters, raccoons, sloth, and many types of birds and butterflies. Curu is a Biological Research Center and you will see many of the animals that are being cared for close-up.
From the park a five-minute ride to the white sandy beach at pristine Isla Tortuga will begin the second phase of the tour. There we will snorkel with an abundance of tropical fish, or just swim in the water, play on the beach, enjoy fresh coconuts, visit the gift shop and hike the island. Local fishermen might offer fresh oysters, lobsters, or fish to eat. The Tour leaves the Hotel at 7:00 am and returns around 12:30. $60 includes park admission, snorkel equipment, softdrinks, and water. As always, there will be a bilingual guide on the boat. |
