Enjoy beautiful Costa Rica on this seven-day tour, including wonderful rainforests, volcanoes, cloud forest and natural trails combined with the incredible opportunity to see wildlife. You will fall in love with this tropical paradise.
Amazing array of wildlife. Providing you don't mind roughing it a bit and don't mind getting bitten (a lot!), this is a fabulous holiday. Must have been good as I came home with over 2500 photos!
Exceptional care given to the tour group. A range of interesting activities, guided by an engaged and knowledgeable CEO who felt more like a friend than a tour leader. As a vegetarian, i found accommodation at every meal.Overall, I was delighted with the entire experience.
This fabulous trip takes your average tour itinerary and raises the bar to a whole new level! Experience the best of Peru on this once in a lifetime tour.
The 15-day tour includes the bucket-list topping Incan city of Machu Picchu in Cuzco, which stands 2,430 meters above sea-level in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Known as the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its giant walls, terraces and ramps seem as if they have been cut naturally in the continuous rock escarpments.
Other amazing sights include: Lake Titicaca in Puno with its science-defying floating islands; Colca Canyon in Arequipa which slices 10,725 feet into the earth and where tranquility and beauty abounds and where condors slice up the sky; the enigmatic Nazca Lines in Ica; and an overnight stay in the wilds of the Amazon Jungle in Puerto Maldonado.
This was definitely adventure travel with an emphasis on education. It felt like we were there for much longer than we were because each day was packed with wonderful activities. This was my 2nd G Adventures tour and appreciated the upgrades to the National Geographic version. While all of my memories are my favorite, what stands out most was the Amazon experience, the Potato Park venue, the "hidden oasis hotel" in Urubamba, and seeing Machu Picchu after the climb up the stairs. Also - the guides at each destination were also very knowledgeable and outgoing. Loved the whole trip.
Our trip to Peru was amazing! Our guide knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She recommend activities and restaurants and was just a phone call away. We felt very safe as we were always greeted by a G Adventures guide whenever we traveled to a different city.

This unique adventure focuses on two of South America’s heaviest hitters – the Galapagos Islands and the Inca Trail. Take 17 days to explore these wildly different parts of the region. Snorkel the turtle-filled waters of Leon Dormido, then walk the cobblestone streets of Cusco. Sit on black-sand beaches watching sea lions lounge and later conquer the 4200-metre-high Dead Woman’s Pass. Witness breathtaking natural beauty among the surreal landscapes of the Galapagos, then wonder at the man-made elegance of Machu Picchu. This tour offers immersive and active adventure led by locals in two bucket-list favourites.
A fantastic tour of all the best sites in Costa Rica from coast, to volcanoes, to cloud forests. The tour exactly mirrored what was described in the itinerary and the itinerary delivered lots of opportunity to view not only the tremendous wildlife on offer, but also the different landscapes and eco systems.
This is an absolutely incredible tour -- our guide Jason was both very informative and very helpful. He explained the history of the Arenal volcano to us, we took a short hike a small part of the way up the mountain, and then went back down to look at wildlife in the rainforest. We saw spider monkeys, which Jason said are a pretty rare sight, and then a red curacao just walked out onto the trail in front of us! It was an incredible feeling to just be seeing all these animals spontaneously on a nature hike.
Speaking of hikes, it is important to be aware that this tour is somewhat physically demanding. There are no extreme parts, just some strenuous walking over very uneven ground, but I think the tour description could do a better job of emphasizing the challenge. At the same time, the tour is extremely convenient in terms of picking you up and dropping you off at your desired location, whether a hotel, hot springs, or somewhere else. Overall, I strongly recommend the Arenal Volcano trip to anyone who is into volcanoes and wildlife and plans to visit the Arenal area.
