ATV Adventure Tours

One of the best ways to explore the area around Santa Teresa is through a guided ATV (quad bike) tour.

It’s the perfect mix of adrenaline and nature .

Wildlife Walking Tours

For nature lovers, we offer guided wildlife walking tours, ideal for learning about local flora and fauna. Accompanied by knowledgeable naturalist guides, you’ll discover native trees, medicinal plants, insects, reptiles, and mammals that are part of the Nicoya Peninsula ecosystem .

Guided Tour to Curú Wildlife Refuge

The guided tour to Curú Wildlife Refuge is one of the most recommended experiences from Santa Teresa. We strongly suggest departing early in the morning, as wildlife is more active during the first hours of the day while animals are feeding .

This tour offers excellent opportunities to observe monkeys, deer, birds, iguanas, and many other species, always respecting their natural environment.

To fully enjoy these tours, we recommend:

Closed-toe shoes

Comfortable, lightweight clothing

Mosquito repellent

Sunscreen and water

Private & Small Group Experiences

Our wildlife and adventure tours are offered as private experiences or in small groups, allowing for a more personal, calm, and immersive experience. Smaller groups increase the chances of wildlife sightings and provide a true nature experience .

Wildlife in Its Natural State
