First, you will visit the beachside town of Caldera in the province of Puntarenas, where you will make a brief stop at a private property where a few families of capuchin monkeys are usually spotted. If you are lucky, you may encounter some that are very friendly. Right after the monkey experience, your driver will start heading towards Natuwa. Here you will enjoy a guided visit to the sanctuary where you will be able to see and learn about sloths, monkeys, jaguars, tapirs and many other rescued species. Right after the monkey spot, you will start heading towards the town of Esparza where you will visit a refreshing waterfall operated by a humble local family. The descent and return to the falls is steep and involves 185 steps but it is not extreme, you can get down and back to the top in approximately 5-10 minutes (each way). Once you’re done with the visit to the falls, you will go to a local restaurant where you will feast on a typical costarrican lunch.
