Wetland Wildlife

Discover the best of Guanacaste in one unforgettable day! The El Viejo Wetlands Day Tour combines a wildlife river safari, a hands-on cultural tasting, and a premium rum experience at the historic Hacienda El Viejo, located near Palo Verde National Park.

Your adventure begins with a warm Costa Rican welcome — fresh coffee, tropical fruits, and natural juices served amid the scenic sugarcane fields of Guanacaste. From there, embark on a boat tour along the Tempisque River, where you’ll encounter incredible biodiversity: majestic water birds, howler and capuchin monkeys, and even crocodiles basking in their natural habitat.

Next, immerse yourself in Costa Rica’s sweet traditions with a rum-making experience. Learn the step-by-step process of transforming pure sugarcane juice into fine artisanal rum. Visit the distillery, explore the aging room, and savor a tasting of Sabandí Rum, aged to perfection in oak barrels right on the estate.

The experience concludes at La Casona, a traditional Costa Rican hacienda, where you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch of local flavors — home-style, hearty, and full of Guanacaste charm.

This all-in-one tour blends nature, culture, and flavor, making it one of the most authentic day tours in Guanacaste.
