Day 1 - Welcome

Arrive at Juan Santa Maria International Airport where your friendly guides will be waiting to transport you to your first exotic destination.   Form San Jose we'll head up into the highlands of Costa Rica into the Los Angeles Cloud Forest.   Our Hotel sits atop a beautiful mountain and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the surrounding forest.   This area, in our opinion, is one of the most serine, tranquil places on earth...

Day 2 - Exploring the Forest

Wake at your leisure and after a delicious breakfast we'll spend the day exploring the incredible natural beauty that is all around us.   The forest has a multitude of trails that cater to all ability levels and you're guaranteed to see hundreds of exotic creatures that call this paradise home.   That evening enjoy an authentic Costa Rican meal as you watch the sun slowly descend over the forest.

Day 3 - Poas Volcano &L a Paz Waterfall Garden

Today we'll start the day with a short drive to the rim of Poas Volcano, and one of Costa Rica's most spectacular sights.   Hike along the many trails that hug the crater's edge as you search for the perfect picture of this incredible semi-dormant Volcano.   On the way back we'll stop at the La Paz Waterfall Gardens.   We'll take a short hike through the rainforest where you'll see hundreds of jungle creatures and five of Costa Rica's most spectacular waterfalls.   I hope you brought an extra disk for your camera!!!

Day 4 - Corcovado National Park

Today we'll take the short drive back to San Jose to catch a flight bound for our next tropical adventure. Located on the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park is home to the most unspoiled Pacific costal rainforest in Central America. With over 400 bird species, 140 mammal species and an incredible 500 tree species this park has more biodiversity than most countries, including the entire United States! We'll arrive in time for a short hike on one of the many trails that crisscross the park. Then, snuggle into your private screened in bungalow and let the sounds of the jungle lull you into a restful slumber.

Day 5 - Corcovado National Park

Today we'll rise early and start our hike through the Park. Bring your binoculars because you're going to see Costa Rica nature like you've never seen it before, including creatures that will stagger your imagination! Look to the canopy above for monkeys, toucans, sloths and the spectacular harpy eagle. Look to the forest floor for a glimpse of a giant anteater or, if you're really lucky, one of the five species of cat that prowl the shadows. Wander to your heart's content, the trails in the Park are practically endless. Later, if you need a swim to wash away the day's exercise, just take the ten-minute stroll from your bungalow to your own pristine white sandy beach.

Day 6 - Isla Del Cano Biological Preserve

As your Costa Rica tour continues, we visit the Isla Del Cano Biological Reserve is a small island located about twelve miles off the coast of the peninsula.

Frolic long into the afternoon, then we'll go back for a well deserved diner and cocktails at your lodge's private poolside restaurant.
