Costa Rica Adventure

Next, head inland to Monteverde’s cloud forests, where a canopy walk or a visit to a butterfly garden might fill a morning, and then to La Fortuna, home to Arenal Volcano and nearby hot springs. The itinerary includes a stay in a jungle lodge near Sarapiquí with nature trails and a cooking demonstration, adding a hands-on sense of place. Finishing off is time near the Pacific coast at Manuel Antonio National Park, where beaches meet tropical forest trails.

Travel is with a dedicated CEO, and the mix of included activities and leisure time makes for a stimulating but not rushed pace. There’s scope to tackle some adrenaline-pumping options or to take it easy with simpler pursuits, reflecting the variety within Costa Rica’s compact borders.
