There is so much to tell you about here that it's hard to find a place to start. In short, you will fly out of San Jose early in the morning to the Rio Colorado Lodge where you will be tarpon fishing that day followed by spending the night on site with all the comforts you could ever want from a remote lodge.
Everything you need with exception to a fresh water fishing license and alcoholic beverages is covered, everything. They even have a happy hour.
Tarpon fishing is something that most sportsmen have never had the opportunity to do. These fish are very unique and extremely powerful. It is not uncommon for someone to pull one into a boat not knowing any better, and get their legs broken from the sheer power of these amazing fish flipping around out of control. They live in both freshwater and saltwater and commonly schools get into the thousands. These highly acrobatic fish will entice the even the best fishermen.

A snippet from their site:
After having breakfast the morning after tarpon fishing you will board a riverboat for an exciting experience of a leisurely journey down our famous inland, canals, paralleling the Caribbean coast, through the tropical rain forest and jungle. Here we won't be surprised to see alligators basking in the sun, maybe a sloth in the overhanging trees, several varieties of birds, and flora species by the hundreds.
Continuing our trip south through the canals, we will arrive at the port of Hamburgo, where it is likely you'll see bananas being loaded on their way to distant markets. We'll lunch at Guacimo, one of the Atlantic zone growing towns, and afterwards continue with our trip on board our first class bus, to San Jose.
During the trip we'll cross the Reventazon and Pacuare Reivers, see spacious banana plantations, pass by the agriculturally rich towns of Siquirres and Guapiles, and as we climb again to the central plateau, we'll pass through famous Braulio Carrillo National Park, one of our least explored cloud forests, and upon leaving it, we'll emerge to a spectacular view of Heredia.

No, this isn't the spectacular view of Heredia, but it is a very common thing to see here.
You should arrive at San Jose around 3 to 4PM. This will allow you another free evening before flying out in the morning. |
