Río Celeste Tubing: Adventure Meets Tranquility
The following day, I experienced river tubing on Río Celeste. I personally enjoy balancing relaxation with adventure, and this activity delivers both. I was picked up directly from the hotel lobby and transferred to the starting point.
It was my first time tubing and less than 20 days later, I returned to do it again. Floating on electric-blue waters surrounded by jungle is simply magical. Suitable for all ages, you sit back, let the river guide you, and become part of it. A true highlight of my trip.
Tapir Valley & Night Walk: A Rare Wildlife Encounter
That afternoon, I joined our local expert guide, Marlon, for an unforgettable experience at Tapir Valley, a private property rich in wildlife and stories only locals can share.
Around 4:00 p.m., we set out in search of tapirs and we were incredibly lucky. Two tapirs appeared, calmly feeding and slowly approaching us. Watching them in complete silence and respect for nearly 20 minutes was a moment I will never forget.
As night fell, we began a guided night walk. With limited visibility, my senses sharpened. Sounds became more vivid. Frogs, snakes, insects and then, one more surprise: Gaia, a legendary tapir of the region. At that moment, I realized this experience had exceeded everything I had imagined.
