TOUR DESCRIPTION:
After your pick up at the pier and a short drive along the country side, you will get into TURU BA RI Tropical Park, the biggest and most complete tropical park in America, a fresh destination with unspoiled natural environment and a thoughtful commitment to sustainable tourism. In 595 acres you will discover the best butterflies, exclusive botanical collections, amazing forest trails and Costa Rica’s cultural history and much more.
The TURU BA RI Tropical Park (“Bright Moon River" in the Huetar dialect) is an eco-adventure oriented theme park that started operation last April 5th, 2003. It has a total extension of 595 acres in beautiful scenery, surrounded on the Northeast by the Rio Grande de Tarcoles, to the Southwest by the Turrubares hillsides and the Carara National Park and to the West by the Nicoya Gulf, which you can see from the highest elevation areas.
The distance form Puntarenas is only one hour bus ride and this tour is one of our best recommendations for the entire family.
The natural surroundings of the TURUBARI Tropical park is the ideal place for visitors who are looking to learn more about Costa Rica's natural history, discovering our ancestor's life style, having an adventure experience or simply enjoy the beautiful landscape.
The park's entrance is located at the highest point, offering a spectacular view of the property and its surrounding areas. Way back in the year 1997, about 15 years in the past, the property was dedicated to the cattle raising field and with the abundant production of mangoes.
Six years later the property was transformed into a park with an immense tropical garden with botanical collections, trails and a large quantity of attractions for tourist to enjoy which has helped preserved our planet and brought social benefits to few of the human resources.
The main attractions to visit are: The aerial tram, the Butterfly Garden, Palm collection, Countryside farm, Herbarium, Cactus collection, The Indian trail and Bromeliads garden.
The tour includes a naturalist tour guide who will explain all the main secrets of the rain forest and a delicious buffet lunch.
