See Costa Rica’s Caribbean rainforest from two completely different perspectives—the treetops and the water. Built around your ship’s schedule, this Puerto Limón shore excursion begins at Veragua Rainforest, a mountain reserve that National Geographic Traveler called “the crème de la crème of the tropical rainforest.” Walk beneath towering trees, discover the reserve’s work in conservation and research, then ride an open-air aerial tram through the canopy for a view few rainforest trails can offer. Next, trade the treetops for the jungle waterways of the Tortuguero Canals, often called Costa Rica’s Amazon. Cruise past dense vegetation while watching for sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, crocodiles, bats, and aquatic birds. From mountain rainforest to winding canals, this is one port day shaped by changing perspectives, living ecosystems, and the extraordinary biodiversity of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
