When staying in the San Jose area of Costa Rica for a few weeks we discovered that some great attractions are close-by the city. Turu Ba Ri Adventure Park turned out to be a great full-day activity, and was less than 1 hour from the capital city. Turu Ba Ri contains a tropical forest along the Rio Tarcoles. Once inside...

We enjoyed each of... More

This day tour is a wonderful way to learn a lot about Costa Rica in a short amount of time. The driver and guide picked us up in their van at the Puntarenas cruise ship pier at 8 A. M. and returned us by 5. The park, about an 1 hour away from Puntarenas,is only a couple of years old.... More
