Detail

This 11 nights’ tour package has been designed for those who want to discover some of the hidden treasures of Costa Rica: exuberant nature and the contrasts between landscapes and exotic beaches.

The adventure begins in one of the best natural destinations of Costa Rica, where you can appreciate biodiversity closely, at the Tortuguero rainforest. This area has remained untouched by man and it is one principal America’s turtle nesting spots.

Then, you will continue to Naranjo in your own 4x4, which sits in the Central Volcanic Mountain Range. This area acts as a biological corridor and it is an excellent spot for bird watching.

You will continue exploring the country towards to the northern lowlands where you will find two natural attractions: The Arenal Volcano and its impressive conic shape and the Celeste River with its magical waterfall (must-see places).

Finally, you will visit the beach area in the Costa Rican pacific that mixes lovely white sand beaches with jungle and rain forest full of wildlife.
