Mario, Gustavo and Pedro are the guides who keep coming up by name — attentive, with free photos included, and sharp-eyed for spotting monkeys, toucans and poison dart frogs along the way. One thing to know: there are two "Cafe Bohío" meeting points, and this tour's is the Playa Hermosa one, not the one in downtown Jacó.
The tour mixes jungle and ocean views from the platforms, with a strong safety focus at every stage — one of the better-rated ways to trade the beach for the mountains for an afternoon in Playa Hermosa.
