About this trip
Seven days in Costa Rica split between two of its most striking landscapes: the misty cloud forest of Monteverde and the volcanic adventure hub of La Fortuna.
You'll visit a sustainable farm to see how coffee is grown, then have free time to explore Monteverde's cloud forest at your own pace. In La Fortuna the pace picks up, with a genuine choice of adrenaline activities on offer.
This is a trip for people who want nature and adventure in equal measure, with enough flexibility to pick the activities that suit you.
What you'll do
- Visit a sustainable farm and learn about coffee production
- Explore the cloud forest of Monteverde on your own time
- Choose from canyoneering, whitewater rafting, or waterfall jumping in La Fortuna
- Base yourself in Costa Rica's adventure capital, La Fortuna
- Some activities in La Fortuna are optional extras you choose on the ground
- Free time in Monteverde means the itinerary isn't fully packed
Worth it if you value a knowledgeable guide and curated itinerary. Think twice if you expect all activities included or guaranteed 4-star hotels.
- Guides consistently excellent: Steph, Nany, Luis, Eric, Maikol all praised for local knowledge and attentiveness.
- Activities cost extra and are pricey; only breakfast and transport included despite premium positioning.
- La Fortuna accommodation advertised as 4-star but delivered as basic 3-star motel; Monteverde better.
- Bring cash for daily tips; airport transfers via Uber cheaper than pre-booked options; book own meals if picky.
