The day begins at about nine in the morning driving though villages of the descendants of the Chorotega tribe. Withinn two and a half hours, we reach the entrance of the Sensoria Nature Reserve.

Under the lush endemic orchids and centennial trees, we enjoy a delicious mid-morning snack prepared by our chef. We reach the blue waterfalls of Sensoria and behold the natural thermal springs, where a warm and curative dip is highly recommended.
