Itinerary

Day 1

Your Costa Rica story begins the moment you land at Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO). A warm meet-and-greet welcomes you, and a private transfer carries you into the heart of the country. Settle in, breathe deep, and feel the pura vida spirit take hold.

Overnight San José

Day 2

After breakfast, set out on an unforgettable combo tour: wander the fragrant fields of Hacienda Doka Coffee, stand before the steaming crater of Poás Volcano, and marvel at the cascading La Paz Waterfall. Lunch is included as you soak in Costa Rica's volcanic soul.

Overnight San José

Day 3

With all meals included, you'll journey toward the wild canals of Tortuguero. As the road gives way to rivers, rainforest closes in around you, alive with birdsong and movement. This is Costa Rica untamed, where nature writes the itinerary.

Overnight in Tortuguero.

Day 4

After breakfast, a private transfer carries you toward the mighty Arenal Volcano. Tonight, sink into naturally heated hot springs beneath a star-scattered sky, dinner included, as steam rises and every worry melts away into the warm mineral waters.

Overnight in Arenal.

Day 5

Following breakfast, glide across shimmering Arenal Lake before ascending into the misty cloud forest of Monteverde. Walk the famous Hanging Bridges, suspended high among the treetops, where clouds drift past and hidden wildlife stirs all around you.

Overnight in Monteverde.

Day 6

After breakfast, a private transfer trades the cool cloud forest for the golden Pacific coast. Feel the air warm and the pace slow as palm trees, ocean breezes, and the promise of paradise draw you toward beautiful Manuel Antonio.

Overnight in Manuel Antonio.

Day 7

Breakfast fuels a day inside Manuel Antonio National Park, where jungle meets the sea. Spot playful monkeys, lazy sloths, and vibrant birds along shaded trails that open onto some of the most stunning white-sand beaches in all of Costa Rica.

Overnight in Manuel Antonio.
