Overview of Costa Rica: Volcanoes, Rainforest, Rivers, & Beaches
Looking for the perfect balance of activity and leisure? Choose Costa Rica for your next adventure vacation! We’ve used our years of experience to create an amazing itinerary for optimal fun in the best places. Based in the dramatic setting of Arenal Volcano and the surrounding pastoral countryside, you’ll have opportunities to hike, bike, swim, bird watch, and soak in thermal hot springs—a virtual hotspot for varied activities! A morning or afternoon canopy walkway, zipline, horseback riding, fishing on Lake Arenal, or a full day river rafting on the Sarapaqui River can easily be added on. Then, wind up at the “jewel” of Costa Rica’s national parks and our favorite area in the country—Corcovado on the Osa Peninsula. You’ll stay at one of Corcovado’s prime lodges where rainforests edge long pristine beaches, scarlet macaws and howler monkeys skirt the edge of the forest, and humpback whales and pods of dolphins may leap from the Pacific. You’ll never want to leave!

Established in 1972, Manuel Antonio is one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse areas in the world. Although it is the country's smallest national park, the stunning beauty and diversity of wildlife in its 683 hectares of land (and 55,000 hectares of sea) is unequaled.
