The Essence of Pura Vida
Between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Costa Rica concentrates remarkable biodiversity over a territory the size of Switzerland. The sounds of the tropical forest accompany every awakening: howler monkey cries, songs of multicolored birds, rustling of foliage. Smoking volcanoes, black sand beaches, verdant canopy and natural hot springs create a landscape where nature reigns supreme.
Your English-speaking local agent designs an itinerary tailored to your wishes: observing sloths in Manuel Antonio park, hiking on the slopes of Arenal, meetings with rural communities or relaxation on Caribbean coasts. Each day reveals a different facet of this unspoiled land.
What absolutely must you see in Costa Rica?
Manuel Antonio National Park offers a privileged encounter with sloths and capuchin monkeys, while nearby beaches invite relaxation. Arenal Volcano, recognizable by its perfect shape, dominates a landscape of hot springs and tropical forests. The Monteverde region reveals the cloud forest, a unique ecosystem populated by quetzals and rare orchids. Finally, the Osa Peninsula is home to Corcovado National Park, a biodiversity sanctuary where jaguars, tapirs and scarlet macaws roam.
What type of trip should you choose?
A tailor-made stay of 10 to 15 days allows you to explore the different regions without rushing. Average budget of 2,200 euros per person, including charming accommodations and guided activities. This trip is suitable for families with children from 8 years old, couples seeking authentic nature and ecotourism enthusiasts. Your local agent organizes private transport, naturalist guides and eco-responsible accommodations according to your preferences.
