What to expect

We will then take a comfortable 90-minute boat ride to Caño Island through the largest area of mangrove swamps in Central America. The mangroves are inhabited by crocodiles, snakes, four species of monkeys, and a great variety of birds. Once through the Sierpe River mouth, we’ll pass two of the most scenic areas in the country, Drake Bay and the Marenco Biological Reserve. Hopefully, we will be able to observe Humpback, Pilot and Killer Whales along the way.

When we get to the park our bilingual naturalist guide will lead you on a 3-hour walking tour of a pristine primary forest. The hike ends at the Rangers’ Station where we will provide a delicious picnic lunch surrounded by a rich natural atmosphere.
