Rio Sierpe Mangrove Tour - Private Tour

Embark on a serene boat journey through the untouched Rio Sierpe River mangroves with the local guides of the Osa Rural Tours Cooperative. As you meander through tranquil waterways, witness crocodiles, myriad bird species, and more amidst the lush surroundings. This mangrove, a cornerstone of Central America's ecosystem, offers a deep dive into Costa Rica's rich biodiversity. Your adventure significantly supports the cooperative's endeavor to preserve over 4,000 hectares of primary rainforest. Discover the heart of Costa Rica's wild beauty, experience the harmonious existence of diverse species, and learn about the cooperative’s efforts to preserve this natural treasure. Uncover the mysteries of the mangroves, engage in authentic encounters with nature, and leave with a heart full of memories and a soul enriched with the essence of pure wilderness.

Sierpe group tour

Everyone in the group loved it. Not just for the excellent organization and beauty, but because of Eytan being able to be personally present and for Enoch a very knowledgeable guide and great example of the warm Costa Rican goodness!

Fantastic Tour of Rio Sierpe

Our private tour arranged through Local of Rio Sierpe was a highlight of my recent trip to Costa Rica. Our tour guide, Enock and his crew were so knowledgable and were able to point out and spot so many different animals, from monkeys to crocodiles, macaws to owls! And we all learned so much about the region and local communities. It felt great to connect with locals from these communities, and gain through their eyes a deeper understanding of the environment we were privileged to visit. Eytan at Lokal travel was the consummate professional, so well connected with local resources and tour guides, he guided us so well from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Lokal travel to friends and family looking for a more authentic travel experience.
