Itinerary

Gio Tours - Day Tours

This tour starts when you leave the port of call and get into the Panamerican Highway. You get to the road to Monteverde. The descendants of the original Quakers that came here in the 50’s, decided to protect their paradise from massive tourism by not paving the roads that access the region. In a country and area where the pouring rains turn dust into mud in a blink, this defense worked for many years.

After your cloud forest adventure, you’ll enjoy a delicious Costa Rican lunch featuring fresh local produce. Following lunch, you’ll visit a sloth sanctuary, created in partnership with the Caribbean Sloth Sanctuary of Costa Rica, featuring rescued sloths in a natural habitat. These gentle creatures, saved from poaching, habitat loss, illness, and accidents, now have a safe haven. Enjoy a guided tour to learn about these iconic mammals and their unhurried lifestyle.

Great views and worth the drive

The tour into the forest was great. The bridges over the forest provided great views. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and created a fun experience for all of us with his warm hospitality. Also the included lunch was tasty and filling after hiking. The tour van provided a comfortable ride to and from the forest.
