Think Costa Rica is all about beaches and resorts? Think again. The "Trek Hidden Costa Rica" tour is your ticket to authentic adventure, plunging young adults and intrepid travelers into the emerald heart of this wild country over 12 unforgettable days. This challenging itinerary is designed for those seeking more than just a holiday—it’s for explorers hungry for real connection, adrenaline, and discovery.
Venture on foot through dense jungles, where you’ll stay with local families in a remote village, learning their traditions and savoring home-cooked meals. Sleep behind a thundering waterfall in a secret cave, and let the sounds of nature lull you to sleep. Your trek will introduce you to medicinal plants, the craft of making sugarcane candy, and the pulse of true Costa Rican life far from the crowds.
This trip isn’t just about trekking—it’s about pushing boundaries. Rappel down waterfalls, try your hand at surfing, or tackle the rapids with whitewater rafting. Every day offers new challenges and rewards, and the camaraderie forged with fellow travelers and locals alike is unmatched.
The unique selling point? A rare chance to live, learn, and adventure in places most only dream of, guided by those who call these jungles home. For those ready to trade the ordinary for the extraordinary, this is the tour package that delivers the real Costa Rica.
We need a word to describe this trip: When you have expectations, images, and ideas. Yet they all prove to be pathetic, for the reality is much fuller--full of casual sloths, jumping off of waterfalls, picking cacao fruits in someone's backyard, practicing Spanish with locals, spying on a tapir through binoculars at Corcovado National Park. The trip with G Adventures (and most importantly, with Marina), sparked joy in unimaginable way.
One of my best holidays so far! Couldn?t have done a trip
An experience like no other. Every day was filled with beautiful and amazing things and I met some truly wonderful and special people.
This trip exceeded all my expectations. If you could bottle up childhood fun in one trip, this would be it. The trip was the perfect mix of adventure, authentic experiences, and quality time with other travelers. The pace of the itinerary was superb and the included activities are ones you would rarely be able to do on your own. I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Good exposure to local communities and families with local guides being the key to the interaction. Activity level is easier than advertised so open to most abilities.
I was looking for more than just beach time and the main tourist attractions and this trip provided all I could have asked for. It was the right mix of hiking, other physical activities and just enough relaxation at different beaches. I liked that I really only had to pay for optional activities at 2 or 3 places. You need to be in at least decent shape to do this trip but it is definitely worth it!
Costa Rica is truly amazing! Really happy with the tour. The group was great. The small treks we did were amazing, and Dominical is truly beautiful. The entire tour was well organised!
