Questions couples ask

Do we travel with other people?+
The rainforest tour is a shared group outing with a local naturalist guide who speaks English and Spanish. Arrival and departure transfers on the peninsula are a few minutes from the airstrip to the hotel.

Not very. It runs mostly from an adapted 4x4 with short stops to watch wildlife and take photos, and the walking is minimal and mostly flat.

Rest at the hotel, or ask your advisor to book kayaking, birdwatching or another nature tour on the peninsula.
