Canoe rides along the Changuinola and Teribe River as well as a jungle hike offer the chance to spot wildlife such as sloths, toucans and iguanas. You will have the chance to observe traditional Naso dances, purchase unique handicrafts, and enjoy the locally grown food prepared by your hosts – as well as a trip to the organic farm where these native crops are harvested.

Give something back by planting a tree as part of the reforestation project, and return to Changuinola on an exhilarating ride on a traditional balsa - a small wooden raft.

You will stay at the rustic Soposo Lodge, built in traditional style, and are invited to share stories and learn a few words of the local language over dinner with your host family.
