COSTA RICA:DISCOVER COSTARICA WILDLIFE-BEACH & FOREST 2WEEKS

A tropical paradise bursting with wildlife; Christopher Columbus was right to christen Costa Rica the 'Rich Coast' when he discovered it in 1502. Home to 6% of the world's plant and animal species.
Costa Rica has the most enlightened conservation policy in Latin
America. As a result, protected areas comprise almost 27% of the country. Specific environments are being carefully preserved, including varied kinds of forests, mangrove swamps, marshes, rafia swamps and coral reefs. Staying in privately owned eco-lodges, we travel to each of the diverse habitats of the country; from hot and humid Caribbean seas to dense tropical rainforests, from idyllic beaches to volcanoes.

Day 1 Start San Jose
Those on group flights will arrive in the evening and will be transferred
from the airport to the hotel. Land Only clients are advised to meet
at the hotel.

Day 2 & 3 To Tortuguero
The Caribbean coast is not far away from San Jose, and a scenic boat trip of approx. one hour and 15 minutes brings us to our lodge in Tortuguero. The area is only accessible by boat or light aircraft, so it remains a remarkably tranquil
and unspoilt spot, devoid of all noise pollution.

Day 4 & 5 To Arenal
We drive northwest through banana plantations to our lodge near Arenal Volcano. The drive is spectacular, passing pineapple and sugar cane plantations. Following a massive eruption in 1968, Arenal was Costa Rica's most active
volcano until recently when it entered a resting phase.

Day 6 & 7 To Monteverde - Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve
This morning we transfer to the Tilaran Mountain Range. Enjoy
breathtaking views of the Gulf of Nicoya and the islands below as we
ascend the hills to Monteverde and Santa Elena.

Day 8 & 9 To Manuel Antonio National Park
We travel southeast along the coast, following the Pan-Am Highway
and passing plantations of African oil palms and teak. We spend two nights at Manuel Antonio National Park which is a beautiful spot where the forest meets the sea and iguanas and White-faced monkeys can often be seen on the beach.

Day 10 & 11 To Dominical and Uvita - Marino Ballena National Park
We continue south, towards Dominical. The four hour drive takes us to a
relatively wild and undiscovered region. Not seen by many outsiders
the dense jungle here has hardly been explored or researched. We stay
for the next two nights in the beautiful Uvita area set
in the heart of primary rainforest and bordered by the Marino Ballena National Park.

Day 12 & 13 To Savegre Valley
We head back northwest, passing through San Isidro and then up
and over the Cerro de la Muerte mountain range. The driving time
is around four and a half hours to Savegre. We stay up in the cloud
forest in Savegre, said to be the best place in the whole of Costa
Rica to see the beautiful, colourful and notoriously shy quetzal.

Day 14 & 15 To San Jose
After a one hour walk, we spend the morning in the beautiful village of
Copey where we step momentarily into the agricultural lives of those
living in the highlands of the Central Mountain Range.
Our trip ends in San Jose after breakfast.
