Itinerario
Ammira i punti salienti della regione caraibica della Costa Rica durante un viaggio in auto attraverso città costiere ricche di cultura e storia. Durante il viaggio, la tua guida fornirà un'introduzione alla Costa Rica, alla sua geografia diversificata, alle radici culturali e allo sviluppo come paese pacifico e orientato alla natura. Potrai anche ottenere informazioni sulla provincia di Limón, modellata dall'eredità afro-caraibica, dal commercio marittimo e dall'eredità delle comunità di immigrati che continuano a definire l'identità della regione oggi.
Fai una sosta in uno stand di frutta locale per esplorare alcune delle più iconiche prelibatezze tropicali della Costa Rica. Assapora ananas dolce, papaya succosa, mini banane, platanitos croccanti, anguria rinfrescante e cocco appena tagliato. Avrai anche l'opportunità di provare il caffè liscio costaricano, rinomato in tutto il mondo per la sua qualità e il sapore ricco. Proprio accanto al banco della frutta, c’è anche un piccolo negozio di souvenir con artigianato artigianale e prodotti locali. Troverai fantastiche idee regalo, tra cui magneti, intagli in legno e sacchetti del famoso caffè di alta qualità della Costa Rica, noto in tutto il mondo per il suo sapore morbido e il suo aroma ricco.
Si dedica al salvataggio, alla riabilitazione e alla cura di animali selvatici feriti, malati e orfani. Durante la tua visita guidata, osserverai animali come bradipi, scimmie, rettili, uccelli e anfibi in via di recupero, mentre imparerai la missione del centro di restituirne il maggior numero possibile alla natura. La struttura si prende cura anche degli animali che, a causa di condizioni di salute o comportamentali, non possono essere liberati e ricevono rifugio per tutta la vita in un ambiente naturale. Il centro sostiene la conservazione, la ricerca e l'educazione ambientale, e la vostra visita contribuisce direttamente a questo importante lavoro. Una sosta significativa e stimolante per gli amanti della fauna selvatica.
Questo sentiero panoramico di 2 chilometri ti porta in una passeggiata guidata attraverso una lussureggiante foresta secondaria, offrendo la possibilità di sperimentare da vicino la ricca biodiversità del Costa Rica. Lungo la strada, godrai di splendidi paesaggi e di una varietà di flora e fauna tropicale. Il sentiero è particolarmente noto per le sue specie di rane, tra cui la sorprendente rana freccia rossa (Oophaga pumilio), così come avvistamenti comuni di scimmie urlatrici, cappuccini dalla faccia bianca ed entrambe le specie di bradipi costaricani (a due e tre dita). Gli amanti degli uccelli possono avvistare tucani, oropendole, tanageri, colibrì, grandi kiskadee e altro ancora. Scoiattoli, farfalle e altre creature affascinanti riempiono anche questo vivace ecosistema.
Ci fermeremo in un rilassante ristorante locale dove avrai l'opportunità di gustare un delizioso pranzo in stile caraibico. Prova piatti tradizionali come riso al cocco e fagioli, pesce alla griglia con lime, pollo in ricca salsa caraibica o patacones croccanti, tutti preparati con sapori regionali. Abbina il tuo pasto con un succo di frutta fresco o una birra locale fredda. Nota bene: il pranzo non è incluso nel prezzo del tour, e questa sosta è facoltativa.

José was the best tour guide ever, in several years ago, the tour was excellent five stars for everything, the van with full AC and very comfortable seat, a lot of wildlife and very wonderful day ❤️❤️
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We are truly delighted to hear that José made such a lasting impression and that, even years later, you still remember the tour as an excellent experience. It is wonderful to know that everything met your expectations, from the comfort of the air-conditioned van to the wildlife sightings and the overall quality of the day. Your five-star feedback means a great deal to our entire team. We sincerely appreciate your kind words and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again for another memorable experience in the future.
Our tour guide Rosa was excellent, and the van and driver were also excellent. The transportation was very comfortable and air-conditioned. My family was a bit letdown by the fact that the Jaguar center had nothing to do with Jaguars. Instead, we spent most of our time looking at macaws. Also, the rainforest hike was really along the parallel trail to a beach, but you do see some slots and monkeys along the way. Please make sure to bring snacks because it is a very long excursion and we were all famished by the time we got to the plantation portion. There is a lot of traffic along the route so they had to cut out the restaurant altogether.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we are glad to hear you enjoyed the guide, driver, and transportation. Regarding the Jaguar Rescue Center, its name comes from its early beginnings when a jaguar was part of the project. Although that jaguar has since passed, the center has kept its original name and continues to focus on the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of Costa Rican wildlife, which is the core of its mission today. The rainforest walk is indeed considered a tropical humid rainforest, even though sections of the trail run parallel to the beach. This ecosystem fully qualifies as rainforest and offers opportunities to observe native wildlife such as sloths and monkeys, along with rich tropical vegetation. On the day of your tour, heavy traffic conditions required us to adjust the itinerary and remove the restaurant stop. This decision was made solely to ensure a safe and punctual return to the cruise ship, which is always our highest priority. Traffic is unfortunately beyond our control, and we prefer our guests to return calmly and on time rather than risk missing their ship or feeling rushed during a meal. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us provide clarity for future guests and continue improving the overall experience.
We had a very nice experience, on the boat ride we saw many animals and had a contact with the nature. The tour guide Eme was very knowledgeable, she gave us an unforgettable tour, she showed us the interesting places of Port Limon. I really recommend Syltravel if you want to learn about Costa Rica and had a great experience.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the boat ride and the opportunity to observe wildlife while connecting with nature. It is gratifying to know that Eme’s knowledge and passion helped make your tour memorable and that she was able to showcase the most interesting highlights of Port Limón. Your recommendation means a great deal to our team. At Syl Travel, our goal is to provide authentic, educational, and enjoyable experiences that allow our guests to truly learn about and appreciate Costa Rica truly. We truly appreciate your trust and hope to welcome you again on a future visit.
We were picked up on time directly from the cruise ship. Our guide was Rachel and the driver Alex. Since it rained, we were very grateful to Rachel for bringing umbrellas. First we went to the park. Rachel was always looking for animals, which was quite a challenge in the bad weather. In the end, we saw a snake, sloth, monkeys and raccoons hidden somewhat. Afterwards we went to the Rescue Center, which will pick up wounded animals and release them if possible. Rachel also explained a lot about the culture and the country. We thank both for a wonderful trip.
Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! 😊 Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass Rachel und Alex euren Ausflug trotz des Regens zu einem besonderen Erlebnis gemacht haben. Wir wissen, dass das Wetter manchmal eine Herausforderung sein kann, aber es klingt, als hätte Rachel mit ihrem geschulten Blick und ihrer Expertise das Beste daraus gemacht. Schön, dass ihr dennoch einige Tiere entdecken konntet und das Rescue Center besuchen konntet – diese Orte leisten wirklich wertvolle Arbeit! Wir geben dein Lob gerne an Rachel und Alex weiter und hoffen, euch in Zukunft wieder auf einer Tour begrüßen zu dürfen. 🌿🐒✨ Liebe Grüße,
Tour operator did not pick us up at the dedicated pick up location. We tried reaching out and so did Viator and they could not get in touch of the operator. We requested a full refund.
We are sorry for your inconvenience, but we want to clarify the facts. We carefully organize each of our reservations days in advance to avoid any issues. On the day of your tour, our guide and driver were waiting at the meeting point for an hour and a half, with the vehicle ready and the tickets already purchased. The meeting point is very easy to find: we are right outside the cruise ship, wearing red shirts (the only ones in the area), and our guides hold signs with the passengers’ names. Additionally, if a traveler happens to pass the meeting point, other tour operators in the area know us well and always help direct guests to our team. On that same day, we had 10 reservations, and none of them had any trouble finding us. In all the years we have been operating, we have never encountered a situation like this, as our logistics are designed to ensure that all passengers can easily locate their tour. We also tried contacting you, but we never received a response. Since everything was prepared for your tour, and we waited well beyond the 30-minute grace period, we cannot offer a full refund, as this goes against Viator’s policies and our company’s terms. We regret any misunderstanding and remain committed to providing a professional and well-organized service.

The Jaguar Rescue without a Jaguar. But there is a reason. And the stories Lizie told really made the trip worthwhile. Many rescues. Each with their own name and story. French, German, Spanish, and English tours. Lizie even talks to some of the animals . Everyone is excited about being there. Truly, Dr. Doolittle meets the modern world.
Thank you for sharing your experience! While the Jaguar Rescue Center may not have a jaguar, its mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and release wildlife makes it a truly special place. We're glad you enjoyed Lizie’s storytelling—each rescue does have a unique journey, and the care provided is truly inspiring. The multilingual tours make it accessible to visitors from all over the world, and it's wonderful to hear how engaged everyone was. It really does feel like a modern-day Dr. Doolittle experience! We appreciate your visit and hope you’ll return to see more of their incredible work.
Alicia was a delightful tour guide! We booked a small group tour, but, we were fortunate that it was just our party of four (so we had a private tour), We had a great day at the Jaguar (by the way, no Jaguars) Rescue facility and learn how they rescue so many different animals and they help rehabilitate these animals to be released back into their environment. We especially enjoyed seeing the Sloths. Alicia also took us to the National Park where we saw monkeys and sloths in their natural surroundings. The beach was very pretty and we also got a tour of the city. I would highly recommend asking for Alicia and her driver for your tour.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Alicia was able to make your tour special and that you had the opportunity to enjoy the wildlife, especially the sloths. It's great to know that you also appreciated the city tour and the beautiful beach. We value your recommendation and will be sure to pass on your kind words to Alicia and her driver. We hope to welcome you again soon!
This was an absolutely fantastic trip to see not only some animals native to Costa Rica, but be taken around by knowledge, friendly and fun volunteers. The centre provides healthcare, rehoming and rehabilitation as well as education for about the animals in their care. The importance of the centre cannot be understated and the need for people to come and learn about the animals and work is necessary. There are animals I have never seen before and I feel so privileged to have spent my time there. It was fun, informative and I encourage you to visit.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt review! It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your visit and the opportunity to see native Costa Rican wildlife up close. The dedication of the knowledgeable, friendly, and fun volunteers clearly made the experience even more special. The center's work in healthcare, rehoming, rehabilitation, and education is truly vital, and your words beautifully highlight its importance. It’s incredible that you had the chance to encounter animals you’ve never seen before—what a privilege indeed! Thank you for encouraging others to visit and support such an impactful organization. If you’re planning any future adventures, we’d be delighted to help make them just as memorable! 🌿🐾
