Today’s adventure on National Geographic Quest started at the interior of the Golfo Dulce with a beautiful view of the mountains covered with the vibrant yellow flowers of the Brazilian fire tree (Schizolobium parahyba).
After the Zodiac tours, we landed in the magical reserve of Rio Seco (accessible only by boat) where we had the chance of see all kinds of wildlife, including toucans, macaws, monkeys, and peccaries while experiencing a unique opportunity to walk through a primary forest.
In the afternoon, after returning to National Geographic Quest, we arrived at Golfito for kayaking and Zodiac adventures. Here, we had the chance to visit a different ecosystem, the mangroves, where we learned all about its importance as a natural barrier and nursing area for a vast number of animals.
