Introduction

An incredible journey through the Central Highlands,  Caribbean and Pacific Coasts of this small, beautiful and friendly country with its fabulously diverse, abundant wildlife.  You will travel by road, boat and plane to explore cloud forests, valleys, jungles, mangroves, tropical beaches, staying in  comfortable lodges that keep you close to nature.

Costa Rica has the highest biodiversity of any nation of its size, and our itinerary focuses on exploring this extraordinary diversity, seeking out mammals, birds, reptiles, insects and marine life.

You can be as active as you wish: hiking, kayaking, snorkelling.  Or as relaxed as you wish: bird-watching, strolling on nature trails.

 Highlights of the trip include:

  • Boat and kayak the mangroves and canals of Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean Coast
  • Take a nocturnal walk to find night-time creatures in their habitat
  • Birdwatch in the hilltops and cloud forest of the Savegre Valley; one of the best sites in Costa Rica to see the famous Resplendent Quetzal
  • Travel by boat to the Osa Peninsula. Hike in the Corcovado National Park, where Central America's densest populations of tapir, jaguar and scarlet macaws reside
  • Explore the tropical rainforest, wetlands, mangroves and marine waters of the southern Pacific Coast
