Activity itinerary

Cerro de la Muerte
  • 15m
An unforgettable stop at Death Hill: As part of the tour to Ballena Marine National Park, travellers will stop at the enigmatic Cerro de la Muerte. This experience will offer the opportunity to take in the most impressive landscapes of the Costa Rican mountain range, surrounded by cloud forests and a mystical atmosphere. This stop will be more than a pause: it will be a sensory experience that will awaken curiosity and wonder, preparing the spirit to continue the adventure to the stunning peninsula of life.
Dominical (Pass by)
Visit to Playa Dominical : As we continue our route south, we make a brief visit to the charming coastal town of Dominical, known for its relaxed atmosphere and rich biodiversity. From the vehicle, you will have the opportunity to observe the Barú River as it winds towards its mouth in the Pacific, surrounded by lush vegetation and often home to waterfowl and other wildlife. This point offers a perfect transition between the mountain and the sea, illustrating the natural harmony that characterises the whole region.

Whale Watching Tour in Marine Whale National Park: Our journey continues to the heart of the southern Pacific coast, in the Whale Marine National Park, to live one of the most memorable experiences of the trip: the humpback whale watching tour. Accompanied by a certified naturalist guide, you will live an enriching and safe humpback whale watching experience in one of the best areas of the world to watch. You will board an authorised tourist boat, equipped and operated by local experts who know perfectly the behaviour of these majestic cetaceans. During the tour, the guide will share fascinating facts about migratory routes, whale behaviour and marine biodiversity of the park. In addition to whales, it is common to observe dolphins, seabirds and other species that further enrich this naturalistic experience.

Walk on the Whale's Tail: Tide permitting, you can walk on the iconic Whale Tail, a natural formation unique in the world. It is a sand tomb that reveals itself at low tide and creates the shape of a tail in the middle of the sea. This guided hike allows you to appreciate coastal geology, intertidal fauna and breathtaking views of the Pacific
Uvita (Pass by)
View of the Town of Uvita : On our way back, we cross the vibrant town of Uvita, a community that has grown alongside sustainable tourism and to the rhythm of the tides of the Marine Whale National Park. Although we do not stop, from the vehicle it is easy to capture the relaxed character of this place : small artisan shops, cafes hidden among palm trees, and the constant presence of the sea as a backdrop. Uvita is the meeting point for explorers, surfers and travellers looking to immerse themselves in nature without giving up the local spirit. Here, the jungle, the sea and the community come together in simple but profound harmony. It is a living postcard of Costa Rican life, where everything revolves around respect for nature and the good energy of the Pacific
