Overview

Get ready for nine unforgettable days exploring cloud forests, tropical beaches, volcano landscapes, wildlife, waterfalls, and the pura vida lifestyle — all carefully curated, hosted, and handled for you. All you have to do is show up and enjoy.

This exclusive small-group adventure takes you from the misty mountains of Monteverde to the laid-back surf town of Nosara, then on to the lush rainforest of the Blue River region and finally to the volcanic magic of La Fortuna. Every destination brings its own wow-factor — and every moment is designed to help you relax, connect, explore, and breathe in the spirit of Costa Rica.
