The Caribbean Heartland is a pristine tropical region, cradled deep within the dense, untouched rainforests of Costa Rica. Close to the Cabebar Indian shamans, soak up these diverse landscapes highlighted by lush wooded Talamanca mountains. A network of ancient hidden trails used by the indigenous people crisscross the jungles. Considered among the world’s most scenic waterways. Enjoy towering waterfalls, deep gorges, lush river valleys, dramatic scenery, and crisp mountain air surrounds. The rich ecosystem protects a plethora of exotic flora and fauna including jaguars, howler monkeys, toucans, and heart of palm among others. Ruling the forest, however, are swarms of Blue Morpho butterflies, one of the largest in the world! A handful of sustainable projects including the national jaguar monitoring program, maintain a fine balance between adventure tourism and conservation initiatives.
