 We invite you to enjoy our exclusive tour traveling in our comfortable vans and get a close encounter with tropical rainforest animal and plants from Costa Rica. The tour starts arriving at a bridge where there is a population with more than 200 iguanas (at ground or on some trees) very close to see them and take pictures. After this, we'll go towards La Marina Wildlife Refuge, a rainforest animal protective zoo where lies refugee and can reproduces endangered Costa Rican fauna.

 La Marina features mammal species such as Spotted Paca, Agouti, Collared Peccary, White-lipped Peccary. Over these feeds the impressive Jaguar, the king of the Costa Rica tropical rainforest. Jaguar resembles African leopard, but is more heavy, massive, and strong (specially its jaw); fully covered with very tight muscles and emits very deep and powerful grunts. But there are other felines like the Cougar, Margay, that must not be confused with the more sized Ocelot, and the uniform dark coated Jaguarundi. You can see here the Baird's Tapir with its white spotted offspring wading among water land plants, and sharing home with some deer and peccaries.

There are plenty of bird watching possibilities because of birds hovering free among the trees and bushes, as well as some wandering on the ground like the extraordinary Great Curassow, which surely will let you take some great pictures.

Then, we finish at Forest's Hot Springs, where we'll be in direct contact with tropical rainforest intimacy in a relaxing & healthy natural thermal bath, next to the forest spring and surrounded with very lush plant covering.

Don't forget that after an intense and active tour day you can enjoy relax in the natural hot springs hotel facilities and get relax, health and beauty at our Fangus Spa Resort.
