Hiking and tuning in Rincon de La Vieja was a great way to spend the day in Costa Rica. A nice leisurely walk through the rainforest led to monkey sightings as well as birds and wild turkeys and agoutis. The dry forest was very hot and exposed to the sun though so bring water! The river tubing was a highlight! Lots of somewhat wild rapids and some calm areas too. We saw monkeys in the trees overhead. The guides were very helpful in the rougher rapids and also when the water was calm and we needed a push. I would recommend a long sleeved sun swim shirt as the Velcro on the tubes is scratchy. Overall, a lot of fun!
