Welcome to Sarapiqui!


Sarapiqui, the ideal Costa Rican rainforest to immerse into the adventure, get amazed by impressive natural landscapes and practise ecotourism while having quality time as a family.  Do you already have prepared your closed shoes, repellent and rain jacket? Then you are ready for this experience as a family!


Day 1 If you are a family that enjoy the outdoors, Sarapiquí offers plenty of activities that will be in line with your travel expectations. We got the opportunity to stay at the Ara Ambigua Lodge and explore its three hectares of forest where we could spot different beautiful and captivating types of birds, turtles and caimans and hike thought the lodge’s trails surrounded by exotic vegetation and fauna such as, the blue jeans frog which tends to amuse children due to the blue colour of their legs that simulate jeans. Ara Ambigua gave as the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of its atmosphere and facilities such as the family pool. However, the adventure did not finish here. From 7 pm, when the sun went done, we got the opportunity to impress the children by discovering one of the secrets hidden in the Ara Ambigua garden which can be accessed by the restaurant. The beauty and diversity of the night frogs that appeared around the garden while we were waiting for our delicious dinner.

Day 2 In our second day, we headed to visit the private reserve of the Tirimbina lodge that ended up being a spectacular experience. Inside the Tirimbina’s property we collected one of the most incredible memorabilia from our trip to Costa Rica when crossing the largest hanging bridge over the Sarapiquí river. Besides, if you are lucky enough, you can spot different type of birds like Toucans or observe how several adventurers go under your feet when practising rafting.  On our way back to the car, we could observe a butterfly sanctuary where you can see the transformation process from worm to the final colourful butterfly and, a group that was taken to a traditional chocolate plantation where they had the privilege to taste the cacao bean at its different stages in the process of making chocolate, which according to us was fun, tasty and an interesting cultural activity to do with your most dearest ones.
