Nature & Traditions at Bocuare Haven

This highly interactive excursion is a great way to discover the traditions, way of life and natural beauty of Costa Rica.

At the reserve, you’ll find over 85 registered bird species. Later, take a tractor pulled wagon to see the small village of Bocuare. Continue your journey to see an old sugar mill.

Change into your swimsuit and take a dip into the swimming pool, located in the middle of the rain forest.
