Discover incredible, lush Costa Rica and understand why this part of the world is called the ‘rich coast’. This 15-day adventure, beginning and ending in lively San Jose, is a journey through the jungles, farmlands, beaches and cities of a pure Central American location. Stay with a local family in Santa Rosa de Pocosol and help your hosts prep a traditional meal. Soak in springs that get their heat from an active volcano in La Fortuna and take on a huge array of nature-based optional activities in the Monteverde Cloud Forest.

[Tour 6th Nov to 20th Nov'24] I've been on several Explore holidays, and this has been hands down my favourite to date. Costa Rica is amazingly beautiful, with so much to see for wildlife lovers, and activities to do such as zip-lining. The people are lovely, too! Our guide, Camilo, was outstanding: he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Costa Rica's flora & fauna, which he shared enthusiastically with us, along with a great sense of humour when discussing all kinds of topics. He constantly carried his spotting scope & tripod around on treks, so that those of us who didn't have binoculars didn't miss out on seeing the wildlife, and he took some amazing photos for us to enjoy as souvenirs. Our driver Miguel was also fantastic, handling the wet weather conditions on zig-zag roads very professionally, and keeping the bus spotless despite all the mud we couldn't help but bring back on our boots with the almost constant rain. I'd definitely recommend this trip to others, and would love to see more of Costa Rica: please add more itineraries, Explore :)

As an ex trolley dolly I would consider myself a seasoned traveller used to travelling independently. Taking my 11 year old daughter on this trip of a lifetime gave me back my sense of adventure and has inspired her to globe trot. I met an American on a rickety boat in Thailand 20 years ago - he told me to visit Costa Rica as it was beautiful - well he was wrong, it is the most beautiful and magical country I have ever visited!!!!!!!!!!
