Kick off your Costa Rican escapade by diving headfirst into the essence of Pura Vida. The laid-back, no-fuss vibe infuses every corner of this unspoiled paradise. Your welcome dinner, led by your Travel Director, is the perfect way to break the ice with your fellow travelers.
Begin your day in San Isidro de Heredia, where you'll stir up your senses at a quaint chocolate workshop with master chocolatiers Julio Fernandez and George Soriano, exploring the rich history and craft behind every cacao creation. Next, head to Siquirres for a scenic river ride winding through protected wetlands, eventually reaching the enchanting Tortuguero. Settle into the eco-friendly Laguna Lodge and let the symphony of cicadas and tree frogs serenade you during dinner.
Embark on a morning cruise through the mesmerizing waterways of Tortuguero National Park with your local guide—keep your eyes peeled for cheeky monkeys, colorful toucans, and other unique creatures. After a visit to the charming Tortuguero village and a hearty lunch at the lodge, enjoy an afternoon cruise that promises even more wild encounters. Cap off your day with a cultural twist by joining Cloied—one of Tortuguero’s local legends—as you whip up a traditional coconut dessert before dinner.
Say “adiós” to Tortuguero as you return to the mainland for lunch, then get ready for a one-of-a-kind MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience. Visit a local palm plantation, meet the Tico family, and savor the delicate flavor of freshly harvested heart of palm. As the sun sets, enjoy a unique barbecue dinner prepared by your hotel’s owners—an intimate meal designed just for you.
Rise with the sun for a peaceful walk that lets you immerse yourself in Costa Rica's lush nature—keep an eye out for the elusive great green macaw! For adrenaline seekers, an optional rafting adventure awaits later in the morning. Enjoy a heartwarming “Be My Guest” eco-lunch at an organic hacienda built by the Quintana family, and learn how your visit supports their sustainable community initiatives. Wind down your day by recharging in the thermal pools of your resort near the iconic Arenal Volcano.
After a leisurely morning, cross the Continental Divide to Monteverde Cloud Forest—a wonderland of orchids and wildlife. Wander through this mystical reserve where every leaf tells a story. As the day sets in, dive into Monteverde’s rich past by listening to tales from descendants of local Quaker settlers and a passionate local guide. Top off your evening with dinner boasting breathtaking views.
Join your Travel Director for an immersive trek through the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. Scale the treetops via thrilling Sky Walk suspension bridges and soak up the panoramic jungle vistas—a true testament to nature’s majesty. As you wrap up your eco-adventure, share laughs and memories over dinner with your newfound friends.
All great journeys must eventually pause, and yours comes as you bid farewell to Monteverde. With a head full of memories and a heart full of gratitude, you'll make your transfer to Liberia airport around 11:00, ready to carry a piece of Costa Rica with you forever.
