The trip in a nutshell

  • <p>Minivan with local driver.</p>

    Transport

    Minivan with local driver.

Attention travellers to Costa Rica, it is time to join the ticos (the Costa Ricans), to slow down and immerse ourselves in their corner of paradise! What will you see? Get ready to hike trails that lead to waterfalls in the jungle, explore mangrove channels by kayak, encounter the wildest nature and learn to recognise its sounds and noises. On our tour of Costa Rica, you will finally get back to what life should be, so when it's time to say goodbye to this incredible country, you will take a little bit of pura vida home with you.

Tour mood

Some traveling days of the trip are quite intense, with several long transfers by minivan and boat (all worth it for the beauty of Tortuguero National Park). They're necessary to explore all the most fascinating parts of the country. Compact luggage is obligatory, as you will travel by private minivan for the entire journey, changing accommodation 7 times.

Physical effort

A good level of fitness is recommended to fully enjoy the trip, as a day of rafting is included and there are several optional activities, including trekking and surfing.

What do I need to enter Costa Rica?

Passport: your passport should have at least one day’s validity from the date you are leaving Costa Rica

Visa: British nationals do not need a visa to enter Costa Rica. You may stay as a visitor for up to 90 days under a tourist visa waiver, although the exact period is at the discretion of the immigration officer on arrival

Vaccinations: you do not need to prove your vaccination status

Please note: entry to Costa Rica may be refused if you are unable to produce evidence of return or onward travel (for example a return air ticket)

Arrival and departure

This trip will begin and end in San Jose. Aim to arrive on the first day by 5pm - on the last day you are free to leave whenever!
