Activity itinerary

Puente de las Iguanas
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
El Puente de Las Iguanas, is a one-lane bridge located in Muelle de San Carlos, Costa Rica. It is a popular spot for tourists to see and photograph iguanas, which are often seen basking in the sun on the bridge and its railings. The bridge is also a popular spot for fishing. In addition to being a popular tourist destination, El Puente de Las Iguanas is also an important part of the local ecosystem. The iguanas that live on the bridge are an important part of the food chain, and they help to control the population of rodents and other small animals. The bridge also provides a habitat for a variety of other birds and reptiles. Here are some tips for visiting El Puente de Las Iguanas: - The best time to see iguanas is in the morning or early evening, when they are most active. - Be patient and quiet, as iguanas are easily startled. - Do not feed the iguanas, as this can make them sick. - Be respectful of the environment and leave no trace of your visit.
Muelle de Los Chiles
  • 3h
  • Admission ticket included
Border Town with Rich History: Los Chiles was originally inhabited by indigenous groups like the Guatusos. It played a role in the second campaign against the filibusters in 1857, with a path created to cut off enemy use of the San Juan River. Today, the town reflects a mix of Costa Rican and Nicaraguan influences due to its proximity to the border. Gateway to Nature: Los Chiles is a popular jumping-off point for exploring the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge, a vast wetland teeming with birds, monkeys, crocodiles, and other wildlife. Boat tours are a popular way to experience the refuge's biodiversity. Los Chiles might be a small town, but it packs a punch in terms of cultural immersion, natural beauty, and outdoor adventure.
