This tour departs from Tango Mar Beach and enters the river at Pochote around 4:00 pm. You will be able to see and listen to some of the hundreds bird species found in this area. Costa Rica has more than 850 species of birds in a land mass no larger than the state of West Virginia. Two reasons that so many species occur in such a small space are its unique geographic position between North and South America and its varied topography and climate, which provide a great diversity of habitats. While the boat drifts down stream, you will admire breathtaking sights and marvelous sounds found only in a real mangrove estuary, an inspiring Costa Rican experience.
