Territories Costa Rica Quintessential Costa Rica : Journey Highlights

The adventure begins on the Osa Peninsula with wildlife everywhere you look, as you boat through mangroves, walk jungle trails in Corcovado National Park, and snorkel in a marine reserve. Then follow your leaders to the fabulous Monteverde Cloud Forest, looking for resplendent quetzals, hummingbirds, toucans, and more perched among bromeliads, mosses, and orchids. Next it’s on to Arenal Volcano to traverse the forest canopy on aerial bridges. The last leg of your journey takes you down the Pacuare River for some exciting whitewater rafting and an unforgettable, off-the-grid eco-lodge.

• Birds: If you’re not already a birder, this trip might convert you! And if you are, hold onto your binoculars for some spectacular sightings.

• Pacuare River raft-in eco-lodge: This river experience is on National Geographic’s list of “World’s Top Ten.”
• Exceptional trip leaders: Your trip leaders are there for you all the way, spotting wildlife, explaining the intricacies of what you’re seeing, and making sure you’re comfortable.
