Description

This short adventure will take you to the Monkey House in Caldera, Puntarenas. There, you’ll be able to hang out with the white-faced monkeys in their natural habitat and see them playing and eating. This place is like a shelter for the monkeys; they have been living there for many years, so part of the income is destined to help get food and care for them. After that, it will be time to taste a typical Costa Rican breakfast of gallo pinto with a natural drink or coffee. The last stop, will be at Tarcoles Bridge, to see the american crocodiles.

10/10 Unique Experience

Andrew was an amazing guide. He picked us up from our Airbnb right on time and was very welcoming for such an early start to the day. It was just my part of 3 fit the tour which was a nice surprise. The monkeys were fun but prepared to get a little dirty. They will jump and climb all over you but stay calm and just let them and you’ll be fine! The breakfast afterwards was delicious.

Tour from Jaco: Crocodile Bridge in Tarcoles, monkeys in their habitat and typical Costa Rican breakfast.

The Monkey Tour is a fascinating experience that combines nature. This tour includes a stop at the famous Crocodile Bridge over the Tarcoles River, where you could observe the impressive crocodiles that inhabit its waters up close.

Magical monkey and local cuisine trip

This tour was excellent and Fabrizio was a fantastic guide.To be able to spend time feeding capuchins which have been fed by a local family for 20 years was an amazing experience knowing we were not interfering with nature.We travelled over 6000 miles for experiences like this and this trip fulfilled our expectations.Also we tried the. Local breakfast cuisine and we had a choice of what to eat which was also most welcome.This is a tour I would highly recommend
