Expedition Costa Rica
Discover another side of Costa Rica on this expertly guided journey into remote wild realms
Costa Rica is one of the world’s supreme destinations for ecotourism. And it’s no wonder, because the natural wonders of Costa Rica are in a class all their own! So is this trip. It's a unique set of experiences that takes you into less-discovered realms of this adventure travel hotspot. We’ll hike, explore and float amid incredible biodiversity. We’ll also learn about the land and its people, tour a tropical fruit orchard, learn about local conservation efforts and search for the elusive and revered resplendent quetzal. It’s Costa Rica, full of wonders, and full of surprises.
- Journey with our professional Expedition Leaders to Costa Rica’s south Pacific coast, an unspoiled region rarely seen by the casual tourist
- Float the Sierpe River in search of monkeys, crocodiles and iguanas and look for quetzals in Talamanca’s cloud forests
- Stay at authentic jungle lodges in Costa Rica's most pristine settings, where intimacy prevails
