Costa Rica: An Adventure Among Volcanoes and Tropical Rainforests

In the second half of October, we organised a thirteen-day journey across Costa Rica for our clients. The itinerary combined adventurous activities, opportunities to discover the country's nature and culture, and time to unwind on both the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.

The first part of the journey took our clients to the La Fortuna region and the Poás and Arenal volcanoes. They explored Poás Volcano National Park, visited the 70-metre-high La Fortuna Waterfall, and discovered the surrounding landscapes on a quad biking adventure. The programme also included a visit to a coffee and cacao farm, complete with tastings, and time to relax in natural hot springs.

The journey continued across Lake Arenal to Monteverde, where our clients explored the tropical rainforest on a guided night walk, spotting nocturnal wildlife along the way. They also visited nature exhibits dedicated to butterflies, frogs and orchids. The following day, they walked along suspension bridges high among the treetops, while part of the group set off on a trek through the Monteverde Cloud Forest. In Rincón de la Vieja National Park, they hiked to La Cangreja Waterfall before unwinding in volcanic mud baths.

The next stop was the Pacific coast, where the itinerary included a whale-watching boat trip and a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park. For the final part of the journey, the group travelled to the Caribbean coast and the Puerto Viejo region. Our clients explored the natural beauty of Cahuita National Park, visited an indigenous Bribrí community and enjoyed kayaking around Punta Uva. There was also plenty of time to relax on the local beaches, including Playa Negra.

The journey ended with a farewell party on the Caribbean coast. Over thirteen days, our clients experienced the many sides of Costa Rica, from its volcanic landscapes and tropical rainforests to the shores of the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea.
