Additional Information
This Costa Rica family trip treks across the lush rainforests, cloud forests,
mountains and coastline encounters a wealth of wildlife, but also allows time
to bond with the friendly people during a relaxing dinner with locals and
tour of a coffee plantation — encompassing the natural and human history of
this rich land. Forming a natural bridge between North and South America,
this peaceful country contains a phenomenally diverse concentration of birds,
primates and butterflies, and its far-reaching national parks and reserves
have long-been considered the showplace of tropical conservation. For a true
rendezvous with nature, Costa Rica travel is calling!
You'll spend your days on our Costa Rica tour with a host of wildlife! As you
travel through the lowland jungles, monkeys create a commotion in the canopy,
in the company of toucans and macaws. Daily guided rainforest excursions with
our Master Naturalists are the perfect time to take in Costa Rica’s
symphony of wildlife.
Not only will you experience the volcanic fireworks of Arenal, swim in
natural hot springs and glide along Caribbean waters, the tour features your
choice of horseback riding, white-water rafting, trying a canopy zip-line and
more!
While the friendly locals in Costa Rica are often called “ticos,”
you’ll be calling these welcoming people “friend!” Your small group
will be welcomed like family to a traditional meal hosted by Dona Mireya at
the Hidalgo Family Hot Springs and when meeting Monteverde’s Quaker
settlers on our Costa Rica tour.
