Tropical Rainforest, Hanging Bridges And Jungle Sloths Sanctuary
Description
Why you should choose this tour? - Because it’s a shame visit Costa Rica not visiting the Tropical Rainforest, recognized as one of the things you should visit before died. - Because you probably won’t have the opportunity to see a sloth in its natural habitat, and trust me, this creature is one of the cutes animals in the world. - Because you will have the opportunity to swim safely in a spectacular, natural, high and wide waterfall in the middle of the jungle.

Llanos de Cortez is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful waterfalls. The falls are wide and wispy, with thin streams of water tumbling along the mossy rocks. Rocky cliffs are visible through the transparent cascade, thick forest surrounds the fall and at the base of the falls is a nice pool that is good for swimming or wading, and there is a sandy area to just hang out and relax.
Heliconias has access to one of the most important activities in Costa Rica, visit a Real Tropical Rain Forest… with 3 amazing hanging bridges that traverse the forest canopy ranging from 35 to 40 meters in height.. At the slopes of the Tenorio Volcano, this two-hour hike with many stops to see the variety of flora and fauna in the surrounding evergreen jungle will astonish you.
Spotting sloths in their natural habitat is not always easy, here you can see very close the many specimens of this rare creature. Also under the fallen leaves of the jungle or in the natural pools, you can easily see around 8 different species of Rain Forest frogs, including the dart Red-Eyed Tree Frog and the tiny Poison Dart Frog, among other multicolor amphibians. Lastly, you will learn and admire many butterflies at the butterfly garden. Don't be surprised if suddenly a toucan flies over your head!

Very cool experience. Had an added coffee and chocolate experience that was not suggested in the booking. We had a. Excellent tour guide named Graybir who was fantastic. He truly knew the culture and the personality of Costa Rica and added greatly to the experience. There was a decent amount of driving but it was broken up and not too bad. Overall a great experience!
Thank for sharing for sharing your experience in this tour! We’re glad to hear that the tour was excellent and also that you got in touch with our culture and did unique memories with Greivin in this opportunity. Best regards, Bryan Leon.
Marvin and Carlos were are guides and they were outstanding. They made stops so we could see sloths and toucans in the trees. There experience and history of Costa Rica was very impressive and interesting. They were both very funny and made the trip enjoyable. When we went to the Rain Forest and Sloth Sanctuary they pointed out all the animals, insects, bugs, snakes, flowers and gave us a little background of each. I would highly recommend this tour with these wonderful men Carlos and Marvin. Well worth the money and a fantastic tour. Thank you again for such a great experience. We took the tour on Tuesday August4

We had an excellent day! Our tour guide "Gravy" was fantastic, kept it lively and entertaining the entire time. We first went to the waterfall which was beautiful and surreal to be swimming in this gorgeous place. We then went on a Cocoa and Coffee farm tour which was fascinating and delicious. The hanging bridges were really fun and Gravy kept us enthralled with education about the animals, plants and ecosystem. We then had the absolute best meal of our entire trip for lunch before going to the sanctuary where we were able to see two different species of snakes, a green tree leaf frog, amazing plants and flowers and multiple sloths. One was even kind enough to be sleeping on a branch right by the observation deck for great pictures! Would recommend it and if I were you I would ask for "Gravy" as your tour guide.

We had the most incredible tour experience in Costa Rica, and it was truly all thanks to our amazing guide, Marvin. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, personable, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable—especially on the hikes. He created such a perfect, well-rounded day for us. We explored beautiful waterfalls, hiked through the rainforest, and learned so much along the way. One of the absolute highlights was getting to see wildlife up close—especially a sloth, which was my favorite! He even arranged for a local volunteer to help us spot and learn about more animals, which made the experience feel so special and authentic. Beyond the adventure, he also made sure we experienced the culture. We enjoyed a delicious local lunch that he helped serve, which added such a thoughtful, personal touch. We also got to see how coffee and chocolate are made—such a fun and memorable experience! He wrapped up the day by taking us souvenir shopping, making sure we found great, authentic items. What really stood out was his patience, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does. He never rushed us, answered all our questions, and made the entire day feel effortless and fun. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, I cannot recommend this tour—especially with Marvin- highly enough. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
Thanks so much for sharing your experience in this adventure! It’s great to hear that you had the most incredible experience in Costa Rica with us. Seeing beautiful landscapes, amazing wildlife and learning about the wonders of this stunning country make the experience unique. Glad that you enjoyed that much Marvin’s attention and company. Best regards, Bryan Leon.
Wear good shoes for hiking. Alfonso was the BEST tour guide. Very informative and very knowledgeable of the country. Highly recommend this tour. We were able to see sloths, snakes, frogs, lizards, and even a turkey.
Thank you for the advice and shared experience! We’re very glad to hear that you saw that much wildlife and shared great and valuable moments with the team. Best regards, Bryan Leon.
