Once you arrive at the International Airport, a CANATUR representative will be waiting for you there to give you directions and identify you with a postcard that should be stuck in a visible place, so that it will be easier for us to identify you when you get out. This person will give you indications to pass through the immigration areas. Once you pass the immigration line, another of our representatives will help you in the customs area and baggage belts. Once you have your luggage you will have to get out and walk along the sidewalk so that our representative will be able to locate you more easily. He/she will wear green trousers and orange shirt as uniform with the Swiss Travel logo and will also have a sign with your name or surname on it. After your meeting with our representative, he will take you to your respective transport to continue your journey. In case you do not find him immediately, you can contact our emergency team at +506 83107636.

Private Half Day Del Toro Waterfall Hiking Tour
According to your selected schedule, the tour transportation and naturalist guide will be waiting for you in the lobby of El Silencio Lodge to start the 30-minute scenic drive through the mountains, small villages with potato plantations, cabbage and pastures until you reach Catarata del Toro, located on a 250-acre private property that protects a primary rainforest. Once you arrive at the visitor center, you will have your first glimpse from the top of the impressive waterfall, which flows into a dormant volcanic crater. Throughout the challenging 30-minute hike, you will enjoy the sounds of tropical birds and howler monkeys as you hike the steep trail through the jungle where various species of trees, plants and colorful flowers can be seen. The guide will be always attentive to show you some wild animals camouflaged in the thickness of the forest such as armadillos, blue morpho butterflies and many birds, including the fast and flashy hummingbirds.
The first 15 minutes of the trail are on uneven terrain with some lookouts that are strategically placed on the trail to give you time to rest and enjoy the breathtaking views while taking some pictures of the waterfall at different angles. Then, the descent becomes more challenging. There are 375 steps to reach the bottom of the waterfall, most of which are made of sturdy concrete to prevent slipping. Once down, you will be rewarded with a panoramic close-up view of the impressive 90-meter drop waterfall, which plunges into an extinct volcanic crater.
The mossy green cliffs surrounding the natural environment are out of this world. The unique rock formations lining the walls are even more remarkable from this vantage point. The vivid red and orange stripes caused by ancient lava flows and the strange chemical composition of the water, remnants of the extremely acidic crater, will give you one of the most amazing encounters with nature.
