The river float was an easy two plus hour glide down the Penas Blancas River. The guides provided by Canoa Advetura were fun and informative. They knew all the places to stop on the river and show us the wildlife and birds. An array of birds, bats, lizards and monkey. Even a crocodile sighting thrown in. The stop at a small home at the midpoint of the journey was a delight. Home baked sweet bread, cheeses and plantains, washed down with coffee and juice. It really was an idyllic hideaway and totally unexpected. It was a wonderful way to spend the first afternoon and an introduction to the sights of the surrounding area. The perfect, real estate trip for anyone not seeking a strenuous day tour.
