River safari and bean-to-bar chocolate tour from La Fortuna

The Penas Blancas River is home to many of Costa Rica's best-loved animals, from sloths and monkeys to lizards and caimans, so keep a lookout on this trip. As the current gently guides your raft along, take in the sights and sounds of the rainforest with expert local knowledge from your captain. After docking, you'll be whisked away to learn more about the history of the food of the gods – chocolate. Get hands-on in a demonstration of all the techniques from bean to bar, then dive into the most important part – the tasting.

Highlights

Catch a glimpse of birds, monkeys and caiman crocs on your river safari
Grind the beans and learn the ancient history behind the food of the gods
