Costa Rica: Volcanoes, Rainforest & Beaches
A 16-day small-group Costa Rica adventure combining volcanoes, rainforest, wildlife, cloud forest and beaches.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This is a strong lower-priced nature option for travelers who want Costa Rica’s major landscapes without turning the trip into a resort stay.
- Rainforest, cloud forest and wildlife.
- Volcano scenery and outdoor experiences.
- Beach time built into the route.
- Small-group format.
- A longer 16-day itinerary for under $2,000 at the current advertised starting price.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–4 | San José & Caribbean Side
Start in San José and head into Costa Rica’s tropical lowlands for rainforest, wildlife and Caribbean scenery.
Days 5–9 | Volcanoes & Cloud Forest
Continue through interior Costa Rica for volcanic landscapes, hanging bridges, forest trails and mountain scenery.
Days 10–14 | Pacific Coast
Travel toward the Pacific for beaches, wildlife and relaxed coastal time.
Days 15–16 | Return to San José
Complete the circuit back in San José before departure.
