Discover and explore Santa Fe’s two national parks and local communities in this full day adventure.

This is a private, naturalist led adventure where we explore Santa Fe’s two national parks: the cloud and rainforests of Santa Fe National Park and the lowland forest, estuary and caribbean beach of Hector Gallegos National Park.

We follow the road from Santa Fe to the Caribbean, seeing primary forest and small indigenous villages.  We stop for 1-1.5 hour hike in primary rainforest ending at a beautiful, remote waterfall.  We continue on , enjoying views from the continental divide, and descend  800m to remote, windswept Caribbean beaches of Santa Fe.

On arriving in Calovebora (population 300), we take an  hour long private boat ride around the Calovebora estuary (calm waters), where we can spot cormorants, anihingas, egrets and kingfishers.  We stop for lunch on the beach.  Depending on interest and weather, we can enjoy more time at the beach, or make a final stop on the return trip in the indigenous community of Guabal.

Cost: $135pp adults (ages 12+); $94 children ( ages 3-11).

Coastal Boat Ride Add-on: (+$50 per group) Instead of exploring the calm waters of the estuary, weather  and surf dependent, we can travel along the remote caribbean coast to enjoy a lunch at a remote beach and observe sea cliff caves.  This is not always available, as the surf can be heavy exiting Calovebora.
