Volcano, River & Coast

From San Jose you make for the summit of Irazu Volcano to peer into its smoking crater. Rafting down the Pacuare River and into the rainforest provides great excitement before you head through vast banana plantations to one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica - complete with a fringe of palm trees. A series of walking trails through the rainforest provides an opportunity to spot and learn about the flora and fauna.

Tortuguero & Monteverde

You'll navigate the waterways of Tortuguero to your riverbank lodge set amidst lush rainforest from where you go in search of turtles and other wildlife. Following an exciting flight by small plane you'll see Poas and Arenal Volcanoes, the latter punctuating the night with its pyrotechnic displays. In Monteverde you walk trails in the Cloudforest, home to quetzal and iridescent hummingbirds, before combining beach and forest at the idyllic Manuel Antonio.
