Adventure
On the downstream side of the bridge over Estero San Cristóbal, our boat would take you up the Río Tovara, a side channel that winds about a mile downstream into the jungle.
Discover La Tovara Jungle River Tour
The channel quickly narrows into a dark tree-tunnel, edged by great curtain-like swaths of mangrove roots. Big Snowy Garza (egrets) peer out from leafy branches; startled turtles slip off their soggy perches into the river, while big submerged roots, like gigantic pythons, bulge out of the inky water. Riots of luxuriant plants—White Lilies, Green Ferns, Red Romelia Orchids hang from the trees and lines that banks.
In light of the possible wildlife-watching rewards, trip prices are very reasonable.
Finally you reach Tovara Springs, which well from the base of a verdant cliff. On one side a bamboo-sheltered palapa restaurant serves refreshments, on the other families picnic in a hillside pavilion. In the middle, everyone jumps in and paddles in the clear, cool water.
The more leisurely three-hour trip allows more chances (especially in the early morning) to spot a jaguar or crocodile, or a giant boa constrictor hanging from a limb (no kidding). The boatmen are very professional; they will go slowly and keep a sharp lookout.
