After lunch we will raft a little more and drive back to the comfy and luxurious Casa Turire where you can relax at the pool or hot tub.
In the evening we have the option of taking you to a local village to enjoy one of the best home-cooked meals of the week and get a look at Costa Rican rural life at one of the most scenic mountain villages in the country, Sitio de Mata. (Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner)
