Territories Costa Rica Costa Rica In Action : Journey Highlights





From the lush Caribbean to sparkling Pacific beaches, you’ll find yourself off the beaten path in tucked-away places like Braulio Carrillo National Park, Ostional Wildlife Refuge, and other tucked away spots.

While you’re likely to see sloths, you sure won’t feel like one on this journey! You’ll take a fun float on a jungle river and thrill to a zip-line flight through the trees, and an open boat ride carries you through the wildlife-rich canals to your lodge in Tortuguero National Park. Over on the west coast, you’ll suit up for a surfing lesson in Nosara, “where the turtles meet the monkeys.”

This trip gives you great value for the price! Get off the beaten path in Costa Rica this year.

  • Wildlife: Toucans, parrots, turtles, tapirs, sloths, iguanas, crocodiles, and monkeys are just a partial list of what you might see.
  • Tortuguero National Park: Skim the canals through lush rainforest filled with exotic mammals and birds.
  • Rafting and surfing: A fun river float through the rainforest is a great way to watch for wildlife. At Nosara, learn to surf on some of the most consistent waves in the world.
  • Zip-line canopy tour: Harness up and zip through the trees for wild views of rainforest and the magnificent Sarapiquí River.

This trip combines the very best of all the great activities Costa Rica is known for—and more! —Erin Hamilton, Costa Rica planning specialist
