An incredible lesson on biodiversity is guaranteed for all. Explore tree tops from canopy walkways, marvel at smouldering volcanoes and spot monkeys, sloths, fluttering butterflies and colourful hummingbirds while relaxing in hot springs. Itineraries can be as action packed as desired, with opportunities to go hiking up volcanoes, mountain biking or swinging between tree tops.
