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.
