Discover a region of natural diversity, cultural riches and laidback vibes on an eight-day jungle jaunt through Costa Rica. Thanks to a longstanding tradition of preserving its natural assets, much of the country’s primary rainforest still stands. Opportunities for nature-based activities are endless here and the beaches on both coasts are well worth your free time. Spot monkeys and sloths in the cloud forests of Monteverde, hike to hidden waterfalls and kick back in the surf town of Manuel Antonio. Explore the depths of this vibrant country with plenty of time to make this trip your own.

We recently went on a 4 night tour with the tour operator starting on Monday 6th May. We flew into Liberia. Our guide was named Pablo and our bus driver named Mr Campbell. Both of them were absolutely fantastic. Pablo immediately made us feel at ease and explained everything very thoroughly and was very understanding of a member of the tour group who was travel sick. The tour was very well organised and the bus was always on time and was driven very carefully, we saw many other tourist buses being driven much less cautiously! We thouroughly enjoyed our trip and Pablo and Mr Campbell really helped with this so please can you pass on our appreciation to them.

We had a great trip! Accommodation ranged from good to excellent. Breakfasts were included but some early departures resulted in them being missed. Transfers were good and on time. Andres at the tour operator responded quickly to our questions and solved a few problems for us. The itinerary was great. Although Santa Theresa was hard to get to (rough roads, long drive) it was fun to see. You get to see a lot of Costa Rica on this trip.

This was an excellent trip! Our guide, Camilo, was brilliant - very knowledgeable about all nature - wildlife, birds and plants, as well as Costa Rica history and culture. He read the group really well, and was able to recommend tours he thought we'd enjoy. The driver, Miguel, was also great - very professional and experienced on the zig-zag roads and occasional muddy trail! We saw so much wildlife! I would highly recommend the trip to anyone interested in nature, I absolutely loved it!
