You will start heading towards the town of Esparza where you will enjoy a refreshing waterfall operated by a humble local family. The descend and return to the falls is steep but 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, your driver will head over to a local restaurant where you can feast with a typical costarrican lunch.
Important: the monkey experience does not take place at a sanctuary. This place is literally someone’s backyard. A few troops of capuchin monkeys got used to visiting this location, and now they can be found there daily.
Tips for your visit
- Respect the wildlife. These are wild monkeys — let them come to you, don’t grab, and follow any local guidance.
- Secure your things. Curious capuchins may reach for sunglasses, hats, or snacks — keep a hand on loose items.
- Don’t feed them human food. It’s bad for the monkeys; enjoy the encounter without sharing your snacks.
- Wildlife viewing guidelines on Costa Rican monkey tours dictate that the animals may approach or climb on visitors, but human-initiated touching or feeding is discouraged or restricted to protect both wildlife and people
