Breakfast included at the Resort.


Just 5 minutes drive from Tilajari Hotel Resort, you will enjoy Peñas Blancas Safari Float Tour. This pleasant journey begins in an inflatable boat through the scenic Río Peñas Blancas. While you go paddling or floating downstream, our naturalist guides will show you a wide variety of trees, birds, monkeys and other wildlife.  This eco-tour, without the noise of a motor boat, is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the nature that usually coexists on the banks of rivers in San Carlos. During the tour, you will stop to share a great costarican coffee offered by a traditional farmer family living isolated from the town.


In the afternoon your private van will take you to La Fortuna town where you will visit the famous Hot Springs which are 100% pure and safe for your enjoyment. The 25 thermal water pools amidst the tropical rainforest will make you feel floating in a paradise of healing. Dinner included at the location.
