Description

Embark on an adventure deep in the Portobelo jungle from the very first minute: start at the pier and cross the river on a traditional barge until you reach the farm. There, your experienced guide will welcome you, explain how the farm works, and go over the safety measures before starting the tour.

You'll walk along marked trails on the banks of the Río Piedra and venture into the tropical forest (primary rainforest), surrounded by lush nature. Along the way, you'll be able to see local fruit trees and even taste some seasonal fruits.

As you continue, you'll come to a refreshing stream where you can take a dip and then carry on along the route through pastures and rural landscapes. The most special moment of the tour awaits you at a unique stream, with small waterfalls and natural pools where you can relax and enjoy the region's abundant water. And to top it all off, when you return to the starting point, you can unwind in the relaxation areas and enjoy a pool on the farm.
