About this trip

This trip takes you through four distinct corners of Costa Rica, from volcano country to cloud forest to two coasts, with a private and partially guided format that suits families.

You start near Arenal Volcano, with hot springs to unwind in after taking in the views, then head to Monteverde Cloud Forest where local guides bring the ecosystem to life. From there it's on to the beaches and rainforest of Manuel Antonio on the Central Pacific coast.

The trip finishes in the southwest of the country, home to one of Costa Rica's most significant forest reserves, thick with the scents, colours and sounds of untouched jungle.
