    Relax and float effortlessly on an inner tube as the gentle current of the Don Diego River carries you toward the Caribbean Sea. A local guide, familiar with every turn of the river, will be there to assist you if needed. Along the way, take in lush vegetation and, if you're lucky, spot wildlife. Upon reaching the river’s mouth, enjoy free time at the beach, marvel at the stunning landscape where river and ocean waters merge, and feel the contrast in temperatures.
