Check AvailabilitySeven easy-paced experiences combining wildlife, Pacific scenery, local flavors and Puntarenas culture in one port day.
Discover the Central Pacific through seven contrasting stops designed for cruise visitors. Observe free-ranging white-faced capuchins from a respectful distance, travel along the Puntarenas coast, taste seasonal fruit and explore the Tárcoles River by boat for possible crocodile and bird sightings. A coffee and souvenir stop, time for a meal at your own expense and a guided look at Puntarenas complete the day. Wildlife sightings depend on natural conditions, and the order may change with traffic, weather, activity schedules and the ship’s departure time.
