This tour gives you access to a world of incomparable beauty in the tropical rain forest canopy of Turu Ba Ri. You will feel like Tarzan and Jane as you soar through the trees. There's a system of thirteen platforms suspended above the ground in the midst of the tree boughs. You will slide from one platform to another with the use of special equipment.

You will be introduced to a tropical forest as you embark on this tour. Going from the dry north Costa Rican Pacific to the very humid coast of the south where you'll see an abundance of mammals. Next you'll board a flat-bottomed river boat where you'll have the opportunity to see huge crocodiles.

Experience Puntarenas. Take a nature walk in Carara National Park, view crocodiles from the Tarcoles River Bridge and shop in a beautiful shopping village. Stop at a farmer's market, visit one of the most picturesque towns in Costa Rica, enjoy spectacular views and take a city tour of Puntarenas.

After your pick up at the pier and a short drive along the country side, you will get into TURU BA RI Tropical Park, the biggest and most complete tropical park in America, a fresh destination with unspoiled natural environment and a thoughtful commitment to sustainable tourism. In 595 acres you will discover the best butterflies, exclusive botanical collections, amazing forest trails and Costa Rica’s cultural history and much more.
The TURU BA RI Tropical Park ("Bright Moon River" in the Huetar dialect) is an eco-adventure oriented theme park that started operation last April 5th, 2003. It has a total extension of 595 acres in beautiful scenery, surrounded on the Northeast by the Rio Grande de Tarcoles, to the Southwest by the Turrubares hillsides and the Carara National Park and to the West by the Nicoya Gulf, which you can see from the highest elevation areas. The distance form Puntarenas is only one hour bus ride and this tour is one of our best recommendations for the entire family.
