The Natural Jewels of Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s Finest Professionally Guided Nature Adventure
Costa Rica may be a small country wedged between two continents, but few locales in the world are bigger on nature and adventure. Flanked by miles of beaches on the Pacific and the Caribbean, Costa Rica’s interior is a lush tangle of rainforest, mist-veiled mountains, active volcanoes and habitat for some of the greatest biodiversity on earth. Within the layers of green upon green, thousands of species thrive: gigantic ferns, magenta orchids, neon-bright parrots, three-toed sloths, monkeys, peccaries, crocodiles, iguanas and frogs, just for starters. In the humid color of the tropical jungle, our senses are never so engaged.

Physical Requirements

This trip does not require a high degree of physical fitness, although quite a few short- to medium-length walks may be involved, often over uneven or slippery terrain and inclines. We stress that all activities are optional. Travelers should be aware that the heat and humidity may be very high and roads may be bumpy.
Important Information
Costa Rica is one of the earth’s greatest natural treasures. On this adventure we seek to focus on the “jewels” within this beautiful country. Our Expedition Leader and driver will accompany our small groups to these remote areas that reveal the splendors of the rainforests and cloud forests. Fairly long drives are a necessity on this trip.
