Sloth Watching, Coffee, Chocolate & Waterfall from Guanacaste

Sloths up close, a waterfall swim, coffee & chocolate and a delicious local lunch: the day our guests call "the best part of our trip." We are a 100% local, family-owned company from Guanacaste, founded in 2008 by Carlos Méndez. Our guides grew up here, and the farmers and rainforest trackers you'll meet are our neighbors. Your booking supports local families. Pickup from hotels across Guanacaste: Liberia, Coco, Hermosa, Papagayo, Flamingo, Brasilito, Tamarindo and more. Swim at Llanos de Cortés waterfall, taste organic coffee and chocolate made by local families, search for sloths, toucans and frogs with an expert naturalist who helps you get close-up photos, and enjoy a traditional Tico lunch. Easy walks, a relaxed pace, never rushed. Ideal for families with kids of all ages, couples and nature lovers. Good to know: a full day of 6 to 8 hours depending on your hotel. In the rainy season (Sep–Nov), swimming depends on water conditions; if unsafe, we'll let you know in advance.

Tapir Valley Night Walk from Papagayo: Wildlife, Frogs and Dinner

Some places can only be understood in the dark. As night falls over Tapir Valley, frogs begin to sing and a Baird's tapir, Central America's largest land mammal, steps out to feed. Once a cattle ranch, Tapir Valley was restored by local conservationists into a thriving reserve bordering Tenorio Volcano National Park. It's one of the best places in Costa Rica to see endangered tapirs in the wild, and home to the Tapir Valley tree frog, a species found nowhere else on Earth. With 440 + bird species, 50 + frog species and a 5.0 Travelers' Choice rating on Tripadvisor, it's a dream for nature lovers. We pick you up at your hotel in Playas del Coco, Ocotal, Hermosa, Playa Panamá or Peninsula Papagayo. After a local dinner, your certified guide leads a small group (max 12) by flashlight to find red-eyed tree frogs, sleeping birds, snakes and more. Boots, flashlights, water and entrance fees included. Family-owned Pure Nature is rated 4.9★ on Tripadvisor.
