About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour navigates Costa Rica from the Caribbean coast to the Pacific over twelve nights. After arriving in San José, the trip heads early to Tortuguero, accessible only by boat through rainforest canals. Here, a visit to the Caribbean Conservation Corporation Museum sheds light on endangered sea turtles laying eggs on protected beaches. The journey then moves west towards the iconic Arenal Volcano, where the perfectly shaped cone dominates the landscape and a visit to an organic farm introduces the unusual pejibaye fruit.

Further north, the Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge offers a quiet boat ride to spot a variety of birds and animals along the Frio River. Liberia and Rincon De La Vieja National Park bring volcanic wonders and wildlife rescue encounters, including a look at native wildcats like jaguars. The final days unwind in the Guanacaste region, with options from beachfront relaxation to a coastal catamaran spotting dolphins and turtles. This carefully paced, small group tour blends natural habitats and local culture without glossing over the early starts and travel between diverse regions that the itinerary demands.
