Travel Guide

A view of the clouds and sky reflecting off the waters of the Río Frío near the Nicaraguan border.

Flip the photo over and it looks almost the same!

We booked a boat tour though anywherecostarica.com along the Río Frío in the Caño Negro wildlife area.

Absolutely worth it! They pick you up right at your hotel, take you to the boat, spend a couple hours on the river spotting wildlife, provide lunch and drop you back off at your hotel.
