Hacienda El Viejo Boat and Cultural Tour

Start a journey enjoying a refreshing “tropical fruits buffet” by the courtyard at “La Casona” served with coffee or tea. Take the best of Guanacaste’s splendid landscape scattered by evergreen trees or flame-colored flowers. The forest road will take on a captivating journey amidst hidden trails and enticing rivers. Well-equipped canopy-covered boats, expertly steered by river captains, will let guests enjoy an incredible number of tropical species such as rose spoon-billed or the mythical Jabirú stork. A unique opportunity to observe crocodiles or white-throated capuchin monkeys.

The tour continues to “Trapiche” (mill), where the process of extracting the juice of the sugar cane happened long ago. As a part of the experience, the guests will taste slices of sugar cane and its juice, “tapa de dulce” (raw sugar), and of course the sugar cane juice.

Next, proceed to a space of culture and learning “La Casa del Sabanero”. Enjoy the delicious traditional meal of Guanacaste with coffee or natural fruit juice, while observing and learning how the “tanelas”, “empanaditas”, and “rosquillas” are baked in a wood oven.
