Set off inland to explore Rincon de la Vieja National Park. This mountainous region is part of the extraordinarily biodiverse Guanacaste Conservation Area and encompasses more than 34,000 acres. The region, with its forests carpeting the sides of two active volcanoes, is alive with geothermal activity as bubbling mud pots spout and steam rises above the canopy. Choose between several enticing options today, including a hike through the transition zone where tropical dry habitat meets the temperate cloud forest. Here, keep an eye out for exotic wildlife, with the possibility of encountering mantled howler monkeys and regional birds, including the white-throated magpie-jay. Alternatively, after a short hike into the forest, opt to swim below Las Chorreras Waterfall, or soar through the canopy by zipline. Afterwards, enjoy a sumptuous poolside lunch at Hacienda Guachipelin. ...

  • Curu Reserve, Costa Rica

Along the coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, marking the transition between the wetter jungles of the south and Guanacaste's drier environment, lies Curu National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica's first private national wildlife reserve. Learn about the hundreds of species of birds, reptiles, and mammals that inhabit this thriving ecosystem while exploring the park's tracks and trails. Look for white-faced capuchin monkeys, turquoise-browed motmots and, with luck, scarlet macaws. The northern tamandua also resides here, and while often elusive and quiet, this primarily arboreal member of the anteater family may be spotted. Later, as you enjoy lunch onboard, you'll cruise to a cluster of offshore islets collectively called Isla Tortuga. Relax on the beach shaded by swaying palms and tropical vegetation, and enjoy afternoon refreshments and hors d'oeuvres on the beach. ...

After lunch, explore the mainland town of Pedasi, a proud center of folkloric traditions on the Azuero Peninsula-widely regarded as the cultural heart of Panama.
