After checking in to the mountainside El Establo hotel for three nights, enjoy some free time around the lush grounds of the hotel before experiencing the Bat Jungle tour. The tour offers a world-class exhibit, in which live bats fly through a simulated jungle environment. A special ultrasonic microphone will let you experience how bats use their biological sonar for echolocation and socialising.
In the evening, there will be a talk on the reserve’s history and evolution followed by a night walk in the forest, which will give you a whole different perspective on this wonderful ecosystem. Many of the organisms that are active at night have evolved special adaptations to help them thrive in the darkness and the accompanying naturalists will guide you in identifying and understanding them.Today, you will explore the reserve from way up high on the Sky Walk and Sky Tram.
After a quick rest stop, you will embark on a boat tour of the Rio Frio river, exploring its wetlands ecosystem. On this relaxing cruise, you may have the chance to see egrets, herons, monkeys, caimans, iguanas, bats and a variety of flora. In addition, the wetlands support an abundance of fish such as the tropical gar, the Atlantic tarpon, and the false yellowjacket cichlid. The cruise will be followed by a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before you return to Arenal.
Sarapiqui houses 54 per cent of all birds found in Costa Rica, so before breakfast and pre-dawn you will embark on a birdwatching tour on foot for a few hours. This will allow you to observe the more nocturnal species before they turn in for the day.
