Your Destination

As the eco-and adventure-tourism capital of Central America, Costa Rica is magnet for nature enthusiasts, thrill seekers and those who want to step off the beaten track. La pura vida (the pure life) is the unofficial motto of the country, and it's easy to see why - emerald rainforest, pastel-coloured hummingbirds, smouldering volcanic peaks, tumbling rivers...this verdant chunk is one of the most bio-diverse spots on the planet!

The country's national parks are its greatest glory, with one-third of the country set aside as protected natural areas. As well as being a world leader in eco-tourism, Costa Rica superbly caters for visitors looking for an adrenalin kick, with options including whitewater rafting, zip line tours through the rainforest canopy, surfing and quad biking.

This complete tour will give you the full experience, from the quaint beauty of its capital city, the lush depths of its green forests and protected eco-reserves and the wild vistas of its Pacific coast.

It is quickly becoming more popular, so grab this chance to visit now, while landscapes are still exceptionally unspoiled...

Your Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Costa Rica
Upon arrival in San Jose, you will be transferred to your hotel (approx. travel time: 35 minutes / 18.5km) where you can spend some time unwinding after your flight or head out and explore Costa Rica's capital.

Nestled in Costa Rica's Central Valley and surrounded by green hills and dramatic volcanoes, modest San José is one of Central America's most laid-back and pleasant capital cities. With many museums and the nation's best dining and nightlife, there's plenty to keep you occupied in San José. Take your time poking around historic neighbourhoods like Barrio Amón, where colonial mansions have been converted into contemporary art galleries, restaurants and boutique hotels.  Visit the museums of gold, jade, art and natural history, and you'll begin to understand its multidimensional appeal.

Overnight at Studio Boutique Hotel or similar with breakfast included.
Day 2: Doka-Grecia and Sarchi Tour
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel followed by a tour to the coffee plantations and some emblematic rural towns in Alajuela province. Your tour begins with a wonderful drive through some of the largest coffee and sugar cane plantations (Doka) in Costa Rica.  This educational and highly enjoyable coffee tour will show how Costa Rica's staggering climate determines the flavour, aroma and quality of your coffee. Afterwards, enjoy a traditional lunch. 

Continue onto Grecia, where you will see its famous metal church. The church that has a rare architecture, with high ceilings, ornate stained glass windows, and classical lines. Next, you will move on to the arts & crafts factories of Sarchi recognized all over for their skilled labour and talented artistry; albeit, known primarily for the famous hand-painted oxcarts that are built there.  The evening is at leisure and dinner on your own.

Overnight at Studio Boutique Hotel with breakfast included.  Lunch is included as part of your tour.
Day 3: San José - Arenal
After breakfast, depart on a river rafting adventure and then continue to drop off at your hotel in Arenal, which overlooks the iconic Arenal Volcano (approx. travel time: 2 hours 30 minutes / 120km).  On your way, admire some amazing scenery as you cross Braulio Carrillo National Park's cloud forest.  

The Sarapiquí River is known as one of the most scenic rivers in Costa Rica's tropical rainforest & is perfect for thrill seekers who wish to try their hand at water rafting. The evening is at leisure and dinner on your own.

Overnight at Tilajari Hotel & Resort with breakfast included.  Lunch is included as part of your tour.

What to bring for water rafting: shorts or swimsuit, tennis shoes or rubber sole feet ware, tee shirt, solar filter lotion and extra clothes to change after the activity.

The rafting activity can be substituted by a Chocolate Tour at Tirimbina Biological Reserve if requested in advance.

Day 4: Arenal Volcano
After breakfast at the hotel, embark on an unforgettable experience as you hike along the lava trails of the Arenal Volcano. Expect fantastic & memorable views along the way. Admire the breathtaking scenery of Arenal Volcano and Arenal Lake with this unguided visit.

At 5,437 feet, the Arenal Volcano looms large and ominous over the pastured green hillsides that surround its base. With a surface of over 33 square mile (85 square km) and a depth of some 200 ft (60 m), it is Costa Rica’s largest landlocked body of water. As such, it provides ample opportunities for activities such as windsurfing, fishing, boating and more.

The afternoon is free to do as you please. Lunch & dinner are on your own.

Overnight at Tilajari Hotel & Resort with breakfast included. 
Day 5: Arenal to Hermosa Beach
After breakfast, you will be whisked away to your final destination: a beautiful beach of Costa Rica's North Pacific Coast (approx. travel time: 3 hours / 30 minutes / 200km).

Overnight at Bosque del Mar Hotel with breakfast included.

Day 6-7: Hermosa Beach
Spend your days relaxing on the beach & working on your tan. You can also book several excursions if you want to explore more of Costa Rica.
