&nbsp;This unique experience includes a visit to a revived rural community, a hike through the rainforest, and a swim in a waterfall, then this is the tour for you!&nbsp;The tour starts as you drive through palm oil farms while your guide explains their&nbsp;historical context and how they affected growth&nbsp;of the&nbsp;region. After a 45-minute drive, you’ll arrive at a beautiful lookout point up in the mountains for a quick break to enjoy some local treats and take in the views of the Pacific below you. You will also make a stop at an authentic sugar mill run by massive, white oxen. Make sure to have your camera ready for these photogenic animals!Next&nbsp;it’s time to experience the untouched&nbsp;tropical rainforest and see some wildlife! The hike is moderate, and it’ll take you an hour and a half to reach the waterfalls. Your guide will share his knowledge of this pristine mountain sanctuary of flora and fauna where rivers are born. Take a refreshing swim in the natural pools—there are stairways and railings to get in,&nbsp;if jumping off a cliff is not your style!&nbsp;Try your luck at the tilapia fish ponds and work up an appetite for lunch! In the early afternoon you&nbsp;will be driven back to the restaurant to end the tour with an traditional Costa Rican meal—’casado’, consisting of chicken, rice, beans, and tortillas. Delicious!&nbsp;This tour is best suited for someone that truly wants to learn about the country they’re visiting while taking in beautiful sights and&nbsp;doing different activities.&nbsp;On top of&nbsp;that, you also contribute&nbsp;to the local community, since the tour guides and cooks are all local residents. At the end of the tour, you’re given a certificate for the planting of a tree in your name to help preserve and reforest the area!&nbsp;What to bring:&nbsp;Hiking shoes, repellent, sunscreen, bathing suit, river sandals, camera, binoculars, extra T-shirt.
