Day 3 - Santa Elena, Costa Rica/Islas Murcielagos

Explore the stunning Islas Murcielagos with our Naturalists. There will be ample opportunity for walking, snorkeling, kayaking and swimming from an isolated beach.

Day 4 - Santa Elena

Spend the day at the Haceienda Guachipelin, an authentic working ranch, nestled at the foot of a dramatic volcano. Explore the dry forest by horseback or on foot. Watch howler and spider monkeys swing through the trees, or toucans fly across open fields. There is also a pool for a refreshing swim. (B,L,D)

Drive to historic Rivas, Visit the Museum of History and Anthropology. At the museum, children from the nearby elementary school come out to meet our group. There's usually an exchange of small tokens of greeting following by a traditional dance performance. Lunch is hosted by a prominent local family at a colonial estate bordering Lake Nicaragua. Wander through gardens or unwind on a freshwater beach. We may challenge a local children's baseball team to a game - Nicaragua vs. USA! (B,L,D)
