Wildlife Safari & Tortilla Making

Soak in all the sights and sounds of the beautiful tropical setting of the lower Peñas Blancas River, as you glide across the natural wonderland. This 2-hour floating safari operates at a peaceful pace, providing you w the opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of your surroundings. Your expert guide will provide you with informative insight about the local flora, fauna, and animal species during this tour. Be sure to keep an eye out for a variety of monkeys, caimans, iguanas, Jesus Christ Lizards (they actually walk on water), and a wide assortment of colorful bird species.

Prepared yourself for a unique gastronomic lesson, as you arrive at the residence of Doña Mara’s for an exciting tortilla-making lesson! Doña Mara and her husband will welcome you with a tropical drink (pineapple, orange, coconut water) at her “rancho” (like a gazebo), where she will prepare a delicious, traditional lunch on her rustic, wood-fired stove. The entire family will enjoy getting their hands dirty as they mix corn masa and water to create the dough for some delicious homemade tortillas.

Doña Mara will demonstrate how to flatten the masa dough into perfect circles, and get them ready for cooking. These delicious homemade tortillas will then accompany the lunch served this afternoon (included).

This tour will make you a tortilla maker expert!
