Why we love it?

This 5.5-hour wildlife nature tour from Manuel Antonio takes you to Hacienda Baru, a private conservation project near Dominical in Costa Rica’s Puntarenas Province. Guided by certified naturalists, you’ll explore the local ecosystem and have the chance to see monkeys, sloths, crabs, birds, great curassow, peccaries, and other wildlife while learning about their symbiotic relationships. The tour includes a 30-minute stop at Portalon Waterfall, where you can enjoy the refreshing river pools. You’ll also have a Costa Rican lunch and round-trip transportation provided. While the itinerary passes by Manuel Antonio National Park, admission is not included, and there is a separate entrance fee for Hacienda Baru. This experience suits travelers interested in nature, wildlife observation, and ecological education in a less crowded setting outside the main park.

  • Round trip Transportation
  • 2 hours nature tour
  • 30 minutes brake at Portalon waterfall
