About this trip
Eight days across Costa Rica, from the Arenal Volcano region through the rainforest canals of Barra Pacuare to the beaches of Puerto Viejo on the Caribbean coast. It's a route built around nature and a slower pace of life rather than ticking off sights.
Expect wildlife spotting, time with local communities, and a shift in scenery from volcano country to jungle waterways to laid-back coast. Partially guided, so there's room to explore at your own pace between the arranged activities.
