    Puntarenas is one of the most important tourism regions in Costa Rica. Its coastline is full of islands, inlets, beaches, and very beautiful natural treasures, all which make it an excellent tourist destination. There is a multitude of attractions based around the beaches, as well as protected areas, both land based and around its islands. The area’s center is located at Puntarenas which acts as a place for lodging, distribution, port of call, and excursions. The city of Puntarenas is rich in history, traditions and customs. Historically, it was the most important port in the Costa Rican Pacific, through which the main exports that allowed the development of the country during the 19th century and part of the 20th century took place. Due to its coastal position, it was an important center for the arrival of immigrants towards the middle of the 20th century. Its boom as a tourist destination dates back to 1940.

It was very interesting, We can see a lot of différent kind of Bird, monkey and crocodile. Our guide, Ronald was amazing.

A great snap shot of Costa Rica Nature.

Published on Jan, 2025

It was a wonderful tour. The skywalk was beautiful and serene and we spotted hummingbirds, toucan and guan. We then went to a lodge for fruit and refreshments and saw several types of iguana and more birds. We finally made our way to the Tarcoles River where we got on a boat and made our way up and down the river looking at crocodiles and more types of water birds than I have ever seen before. It was an amazing trip.

Good, knowledge tour guide Marcos. Answered all questions

Published on Jan, 2025

Highly recommended Puntarenas shore excursion

Published on Oct, 2024

The Greenway Tour van was easy to locate after an easy walk from the ship at the Puntarenas port. Our tour guide, Ronald, was very knowledgeable about the local wildlife, fauna and Costa Rican history. He walked us through the rainforest and the swing bridges to point out the various animals and plant life in the area. Included in the tour was an hour long Jungle Crocodile Safari boat ride on the Tarcoles River to look for crocodiles, birds, iguanas, and other wildlife specific to Costa Rica. We took a break to have some tropical fruits in a lovely village and was given time to have lunch and souvenir shop at El Jardin. I felt it was money well spent for the 7-8 hour excursion which was less expensive than taking the ship’s excursion. Ronald also gave each person a little snack box filled with a water, juice, cookies and candies.
