The Río Frío River descends from the outskirts of the Tenorio Volcano and continues to the northern region of Nicaragua. The river is used by the Maleku natives for transportation and as a food source. In addition, it is of vital hydric importance for crop irrigation and soil mineralization in the area. It is also the main water source for the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge, which is considered by RAMSAR to be a site of international importance due to its wetlands and biodiversity.
Despite the agricultural expansion of the area, this river protects a good portion of the forest on its banks, connected through its tributaries with dozens of small patches of forest, creating a highway for several species of animals. They use the ground, water, and branches to move daily through the river in search of food and other needs. It is easy to observe monkeys, sloths, iguanas, turtles, caiman, and numerous species of birds, as well as dense vegetation of coastal trees that support the soil and prevent erosion and floods.
A quiet tour to enjoy the peace and sounds of the forest. We will use our senses of sight, hearing, and smell to locate animals. The boat captain is also an experienced naturalist guide with great knowledge of interpreting the ecosystem and providing interesting information about it. In the end, we will share an unforgettable experience, visiting a Costa Rican family on their farm, and enjoying homemade snacks.
