Rio Celeste's turquoise waterfall, a wildlife-and-chocolate farm, and the Llanos de Cortez waterfall - the best of Costa Rica in a single legendary day.
Got just one day to uncover Costa Rica's magic? Our flagship tour packs the country's greatest hits into one unforgettable day. First, marvel at the dazzling turquoise waters of the Rio Celeste Waterfall - descend the staircase and stroll beside the river to see this natural wonder up close.
Next, visit Senor Carlos's private property teeming with wildlife: spot sloths, monkeys, colourful frogs and exotic birds, then dive into hands-on chocolate-making and take home your own creation, with a traditional coffee brewed on-site.
Finally, enjoy a traditional Costa Rican lunch before the majestic Llanos de Cortez Waterfall, where a short hike rewards you with a refreshing swim in a breathtaking oasis.
